**[WE HIKE TO THE YACHT PARTY](https://www.meetup.com/hikewalktothebar/events/316397383/)** is on this Saturday, and I'm gonna need to move the body on Sunday... join me? *This hike is beautiful, and this hike will hold me accountable / save me from Beer #20 and waking up in Wagga Wagga with a "No Ragrets" tattoo.* Let's brunch / lunch first at one of the best pubs on Sydney Harbour. **CLUB ROSE BAY!** This place is so, so cool ‘cause it used to be a rundown RSL you wouldn’t dare go into. Wait ‘til you see **[Club Rose Bay](https://merivale.com/venues/club-rose-bay/)** now… the Merivale design, the food is so good (normal pub prices too), the military history, the pickleball & basketball courts. It’s this homely-decadent pub… with top-notch perving. We need to get there at pre-noon ‘cause by 2pm, this place is PUMPING every weekend. Our timing for lunch and a beer is 11am 'til 12:15pm (kitchen opens at 1130am)… let’s enjoy a proper pub lunch (you don't have to eat) then burn off the calories with a glorious journey. **Rose Bay to Watson's Bay and Diamond Bay is a 14kms classic...** the beaches, the neighbourhoods, and the trails. It's a relaxed journey with stunning views to Sydney Opera House... finishing with an unforgettable outlook to the opening of Sydney Harbour and whales migrating south! And if you like a Sunday lie in, this start time should soothe your sleepy soul. (NOTE: TEAM - I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH AS I'M BAFFLED AT HOW MANY HIKERS CANNOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS - after you join this event on MeetUp, come back here and **[YOU MUST](https://chat.whatsapp.com/L2YDjxpdME66mZ5nTyd6GQ)**[ ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/L2YDjxpdME66mZ5nTyd6GQ)**[join our WHATSAPP GROUP by clicking on this link!!!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/L2YDjxpdME66mZ5nTyd6GQ)** **THE HIKE.** **Rose Bay to Watson’s Bay is 10kms** of Sydney Harbour in its glory… **Rose Bay, Milk Beach, Shark Beach, Parsley Bay Bridge,** and onto **Watson’s Bay** and perfect views of Sydney Harbour’s entrance at **South Head & Hornby Lighthouse**. It's an easy hike with very few up / downhills - a magical session through parks, neighbourhoods, beaches, and Sydney Harbour National Park. We'll continue **4kms** down the coast where **Diamond Bay** provides more stunning views... finishing at **Dudley Page Reserve** with Sydney CBD on view in the backdrop. From there: *a) Take the 380 bus back up to Watson's Bay, ferry to Circ Quay;* *b) Take the 380 bus and explore Bondi Beach (or take it to Bondi Junction); or* *c) Super quick Uber back to Rose Bay Wharf for the ferry.* If you know our hikes, you know we always find these "WOW" type places for a drink and a bite.

2026 WHALE TRAIL: Narrabeen to "Sunday Sippers" at Bilgola Beach!!!

*Okay team... Mother Nature and her rain said "NO" today yet we still had a laugh, drink, and another drink. So? We try again, as this hike / bar is too good to miss out on...* We looooove our Sydney trails that treat us to **secret beaches**. We love finishing our events at **secret bars you’d never find**! What about an event… a **stunning hike that finishes at a** **secret beach bar** **with a band** that starts at 4pm bringing us right into a glorious sunset? On August 30, we did this hike but from the other way… Palm Beach down to Bilgola, and let me say this… **SUNDAY SIPPERS AT BILGOLA SLSC IS ONE OF THE COOLEST LITTLE BARS IN ALL OF SYDNEY!!!** It’s RIGHT on the beach. It’s only open once a month. **This bar is unforgettable (burger, beer pic is from Bilgola SLSC). Don’t miss this HIKE!** **THE HIKE. Narrabeen Beach to Bilgola Beach - 13.5kms.** We'll meet at the bus stop in North Narrabeen ([CLICK HERE for exact point where 199 bus drops)](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Northern+Beaches+Community+College,+Pittwater+Rd/@-33.7022113,151.2985563,18.82z/data=!4m15!1m8!3m7!1s0x6b0d550541a46f25:0x5017d681632c2f0!2sNarrabeen+NSW+2101!3b1!8m2!3d-33.7222735!4d151.2984024!16zL20vMDM4eDgz!3m5!1s0x6b0d54e1517e958b:0x284ff3157c081ca9!8m2!3d-33.702148!4d151.298203!16s%2Fg%2F11gzdz06t?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDgyNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) \- we'll discuss it in the [whatsapp chat too](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FXMgLB7M7Rp7jH6ol6nf8g)). The 199 bus stop is there, then we'll cross the road and check out the rockpool then head into **Narrabeen Headland** which gives the most spectacular views south. Onward we go to **Turimetta Beach** (10/10 breathtaking) and **Lookout**… to the **Turimetta Headland Reserve, Warriewood Lookout & Blowhole**, **Warriewood Beach (again gorgeous), then to Mona Vale Beach (voted 6th best in the world, Conde Naste)**… North of that? **Basin Beach. Bungan Beach**.... these two are truly beautiful. We'll climb out of Bungan then head to **Newport Beach...** around the headland is **Bilgola Beach**, and we'll descend down some lovely stairs right onto the sand where **Bilgola SLSC** lies. *(Edit: Apologies in advance. This hike will get FULL. I have to let those that have been on many hikes in on seniority.)* **13.5kms in total**. Beach walk. Inclines. And all the rest. Fitness required for this one. The **B1 bus / 199 bus are our friends all day to start, get home, and even provide some outs if you want to stop hiking and meet us at the pub.** If you parked your car at the start (there is free parking but DIY research) it's super easy to bus back south. Post-pub the 199 bus is literally up the stairs from Bilgola and runs every 10minutes. We'll arrive at the pub about 320pm (330pm opens)... I get it. It's Sunday. If you want to leave? That's okay. One drink. Stay longer? All options are open... See you for one of my favourite Sydney hikes and definitely my favourite (new) secret bar!

Hanging Rock, Blue Mountains

**Ya know what’s well hung? Rocco Siffreddi. Florida. And Hanging Rock.** One is in Italy. The other the USA. And the last that’s the shining star in this event just 1.5hrs from Sydney? The Blue Mountains. Hanging Rock looks crazy. Looks fun. Looks like we should check it out. NOTE. This is only a “I’m interested in this adventure” at this stage. The event is not on a Wednesday - it's just to gauge interest. We'll plan it / we’ll do this event with no more than 20 hikers. And of course... with a beer to "Cheers" at the end. Politely stating: if you’ve not hiked with the group before this event won’t be for you. I need to know your skill / ability. Please don't sign up if I don't have your mobile / haven't been on hikes before. Interested in some proper adventure? Sign up!

CAVES BEACH, GHOSTIES BEACH… Central Coast Coastal Adventure!!!

During my 3 Years of hosting **We Hike to the Bar** there's been quite a few jaw-dropping moments of scenery... **Ghosties Beach** and its caves is most likely the top moment of 2026. Legend Hiker Heidi (90+ hikes) and a few others mentioned some Newcastle hikes, and while researching - I just can't find a lot. If you have some suggestions, please send them to me. What did I find is a tad closer to Sydney, and this will be a gem of a 15kms coastal journey... **GHOSTIES BEACH - CAVES BEACH - SWANSEA HEADS** Low tide is 230pm (essential for Ghosties Beach caves), so here's how we'll hike **Swansea (north) to Catherine Hill Bay for lunch (cars parked here)... then finish with the short and beautiful Ghosties Beach Cave loop!** From AI (sorry, I hate using it), the highlights: * **Ghosties Beach Sea Cave:** A massive, dramatic rock tunnel and sea cave system located at the southern end of Ghosties Beach. (Note: It must be explored strictly during **low tide** for safe access). * **Pink Caves:** Vibrant, naturally pink-hued rock formations and coastal sea caves near Catherine Hill Bay. * **Scenic Coastline & Beaches:** Sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and passes past several picturesque spots including Pinney Beach, Catherine Hill Bay, and Moonee Beach. * **Vantage Points:** Elevated headland views looking up and down the New South Wales coastline. We'll need drivers. Of course! We love you. I think good pick up points are Parramatta, Wolli Creek, and Chatswood. It's a 1hrs 20min drive from Chatswood. We'll start with those 3 locations and work from there. **Catherine Hill Bay Hotel "The Catho"** is a heritage-listed (from 1875) joint with really good food... as soon as you look at this pub, you won't forget it. It's a classic, and there's nothing like it. This looks to be a great day out... See you soon. MJ **THE LOGISTICS.** a) Gratuity $15 Cash or PayID on the day. b) Drivers, you'll be compensated by your riders. Thank you! c) Last minute Cancels and No Shows... *I'm not even going to say it.* d) Have a backpack filled with... well, you know all this shit by now. Make a list. Be safe.
