EASY WALK & KAYAK ADVENTURE DAY - 5km forest walk + 2hr kayak - Narrabeen

Let's make the most of this last week of summer with an easy adventure which is the very best of bush and water experiences in Sydney. From Narrabeen shops we'll catch a quick bus to the top of the Garigal National Park escarpment and do a super easy walk downhill on a beautiful rainforest trail. At the bottom we stop for lunch, and the organiser transfers everyone a short way by car to the local kayak shop, where we hire kayaks to cruise on the beautiful protected lagoon for 2 hours, finishing back at our morning start point by about 3pm. Afterwards join us for drinks and fab food at the local texmex bar right by the lake. What better way to spend a Sunday? . **THE PLAN** **Optional pre-start coffee & breakfast**: We'll be gathering from 8.15am at the [Grumpy Expresso Bar](https://grumpyexpresso1417.com.au/) (next to our start point at the Narrabeen B-Line bus stop, Pittwater Rd, Narrabeen). There is a toilet here. **Official start** Meet the group at 9.15am SHARP at the B-Line bus stop next to the Grumpy Expresso Bar. **Quick bus trip to start of bushwalk** We'll catch two connecting buses up to the top of Garigal National Park escarpment to the start of the forest trail - total 30 minutes bus trip. Don't forget your Opal card. **Easy downhill bushwalk** * First a 1 km flat fire trail across the edge of the escarpment. Stop for morning break at dramatic crags with epic views of valleys and ocean. * Then walk another 1 km downhill to enter a beautiful dark magical rainforest, and follow it for 3km along a flat trail to a lovely park by Narrabeen lagoon. * Stop for picnic lunch, water refills, toilet break. * During lunch the organiser will ferry everyone by car 4km back to the kayak shop. **Easy 2 hour kayak session** * Check in at the kayak shop and pay for our hire kayaks ($40 per person for 2 hours). * The group paddles slow around the lagoon, between the beautiful islands, pausing at the big sand dunes and beach for big views of the coast, and slow paddle back to the shop. Total paddle 5 - 7 km, distance to be managed depending on how much energy everyone has, nothing too hard or rushed. * Aim to finish 3.00-3.30pm at the kayak shop. **After-party** If you like, stay afterwards to relax with excellent drinks, fab food and good company at the TexMex bar close by on the lake shore and right next to the bus stop. . **IS THIS ACTIVITY OK FOR ME?** This event is fine for beginner walkers and beginner paddlers. You just need basic fitness and mobility. The 5km bushwalk is very easy: an open fire trail for 1km, then a steep but easy 1km dirt track downhill (give this walk a miss if you have very bad knees on downhills), then 3km of almost completely flat dirt trail through the rain forest. Paddling is not about having big upper body strength, and you don't need previous experience and training for this beginner paddle. The leader will give you lots of coaching on how to paddle efficiently using your leg and core muscles instead of your arms, so that you don't get tired. To paddle you will be swivelling your shoulders and torso a lot, so you should not do this activity if you have injuries to shoulders, elbows or spinal joints, or if you have a hernia in your torso. Safety comes first: We never ever leave anyone behind either on the trail or the water - beginners are taught, supported, encouraged and included. The kayaks are stable wide bodied boats which are simple to paddle and very hard to fall out of, and everyone is required to wear the provided bouyancy vests for safety. . **GRATUITY** Please contribute $15 cash to help cover the group's operating costs. You can * bring $15 exact cash on the day, or * make a PayID bank transfer to the organiser's phone number 0411 600 717 in the morning before the start of the event. This contribution is in addition to and separate to your $40 kayak hire fee which you pay directly to the kayak shop on the day. . **TRANSPORT** *By car:* * You can get to Narrabeen via Military Rd and Pittwater Rd from the city, or via Mona Vale Rd and Pittwater Rd from the north and northwest suburbs. * There is free parking in the Narrabeen St carpark (right next to the kayak shop) and in adjacent residential streets, but on sunny days spaces can be hard to find so arrive at least 30 minutes early. * From Narrabeen Street it is then a 300 metre walk to the right along pathway on the edge of the lake to our meeting point at the B-Line bus stop next to Grumpy Expresso Bar. *By express bus from Wynyard station:* * Take the B1 bus (City to Mona Vale servcie) at 8.35am from Stand B in Carrington Street, arriving at the B-line stop at Narrabeen shops at 9.15am. * If you are joining us earlier for coffee/breakfast at the expresso bar, take the 7.55am B1 bus, arriving at Narrabeen at 8.33am. * See trip planner at [www.transportnsw.info](http://www.transportnsw.info/) for connections. . **BRING** * Opal card for the bus trips * morning snack & lunch * water bottle (there are refills along the way) * bushwalking shoes * sun protection is ESSENTIAL (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen) * insect repellent is ESSENTIAL for this walk * light shirt & shorts to walk & paddle in (can get wet in the boat), * normally we paddle barefoot, but if you want to wear shoes in your boat bring a spare pair that you don't mind getting wet * warm jacket (even in hot weather you can get chilled in the breeze) * towel * dry change of clothes **There will be secure arrangements to leave your bag and valuables at the kayak shop, but if you want to take them in your boat make sure you put all of your things in dry bags or heavy duty plastic garbage bags inside your bag to keep them dry.** **Protect all electronics (cards, phone, keys) in a waterproof container such as a well sealed sandwich box.** If you wish to take pictures with your phone whilst paddling, make sure it is in a dry case with a secure cord (can buy these at the kayak shop) as it is extremely easy to drop it in the water. . **DISCLAIMER** By your RSVP to this event you agree to the conditions of membership and participation which you can read in the ABOUT US section [HERE](https://www.meetup.com/sydney-adventurers-40plus/messages/boards/thread/53730628).

Kepler Track South Island New Zealand - 4 Day Back Pack , Experienced Hikers.

Thornleigh to Cowan 36km (2 days) VERY HARD

**Thornleigh to Crosslands Reserve Camping area and Crosslands reserve to Cowan.** These two days on the Great North Walk are really beautiful as the walk heads through Berowra Valley and up the Berowra Creek. DAY 1 - Meet at Thornleigh train station and we will walk together through to the camp site at Crosslands reserve which is approximately 20 kilometres in distance. Please make sure you pack light as this hike is advisable for experienced hikers because day 2 is very challenging. Crosslands reserve is a great place to camp just near the river and there are picnic tables and a toilet block. There are no showers but I filled a bottle and poured it over myself last time I was there as the toilet block is on city water and swimming in the river is not advised. You will need to book camping at Crosslands reserve so please do this straight away when you join the event. I have already booked my spot for the night of Saturday 21st (SEE LINK BELOW). https://hornsby.bookable.net.au/venues/13/crosslands-reserve-camping-area?venueTypeId=1 DAY HIKERS - Yes it is possible to do this as a day hike but you will need to organise an uber from Somerville Road to Hornsby train station, or walk 35 minutes up the road and catch the 596 bus. Please plan your transport carefully if you do this. DAY 2 - We will pack up early and head to Berowra Waters where there are some beautiful views, but this is a day for ups and downs with some serious climbs and descents, so pack light and make sure you plan your food well for this trip. Day 2 takes us through to Cowan, where we can stop at the local cafe if it is open, but the trail emerges opposite Cowan Train Station, making it easy to catch public transport back to Sydney. **Distance/Grade** 36km over 2 days - VERY HARD **Transport** Thornleigh train station is where we will meet at the start of the walk and we finish the walk on day 2 at Cowan station for the trip back to Sydney. **Please note** * This is a full backpack hike, you should have all your own gear and be a competent hiker, prepared to stay overnight. * Yes you can join as a day hiker on either day, but you would need to plan your transport carefully. * Day 1 is challenging, but day 2 is even harder with a lot of hills, so please pack light and make sure you are fit enough to keep up with the group.

** Singles - Walking & Talking **

If you're single, active, and love walking in nature — this could be the beginning of something beautiful. Tired of awkward small talk over loud music, overpriced drinks, and the same old dating scene? Step into something *fresh* — literally. This is where "Chemistry Meets the Great Outdoors" you'll connect while walking side by side through tranquil bushland, spotting birds, sharing smiles, and breathing in the crisp air. We will walk around the main body of the scenic Narrabeen Lake, which takes around 3 hours, covering around 10 kilometres. This walk will be a flexible walk around the lake talking to anyone and everyone as we continue around the lake on a flat walking track which is a mixture of dirt, cement, bitumen & elevated plastic. We will have a break at the halfway point for snacks, toilets, general chit chats & views. At the end of the Singles Walking & Talking event, you have the opportunity to let anyone know of your interest and if you would like to exchange phone numbers, email addresses, meet up details or telegram details. **🗨️ Why this is different:** * **No booze, no pressure, no pretenses** – just genuine & kind people looking for a meaningful connection. * **Nature is the icebreaker.** Conversations flow effortlessly when you're side by side instead of face to face. * You could meet the love of your life right here at Narrabeen. **🌠 Fun Fact:** Did you know: The meaning of Narrabeen is a " Lovely Lady " in the local indigenous language from the Garigal Clan of the Garingai Nation. 🔒 **A Few Ground Rules:** I am screening both men and women to make sure they have the right genuine intentions, kind and to add respectable value to this event, for themselves, each other & that they will be reliable in general & turn up on time.

“Summer is Over Pub Crawl!” Cool. Classic. Coastal. And Chaos. Let’s Cook!

Let’s get cooked.** **Saturday 28th February is the last day of summer!** Let’s celebrate the seasonal change as we firmly and fondly lean into hiking season. We’ll “Cheers” to Mother Nature so she’ll bless our filthy souls and hiking soles. The crawl… **NORTH SYDNEY BOWLS…** a **classic** outdoor bowlo in the sun for drinks and laughs. **MOSMAN ROWERS…** a **coastal** club. A hidden gem on Sydney Harbour. For those in the know, this is one of the best bars on Sydney Harbour (most have never even seen). **CENTRO 86…** a sexy **cocktail** joint in the CBD with a 4-6pm Happy Hour. *Marrickville pub crawl?* Tick. *Brookvale microbrews.* Did ‘em. And our last was the *199 Bus-Pub Crawl from Palm Beach to Manly*. I’m lovin’ this end of summer event!!! It’s central Sydney, and it pivots from a ***casual and cool bar***, to ***coastal and classic***, to… ***cocktails and chaos***.

We’ll meet at North Sydney Bowls… you have 1.5hrs to arrive. Drink. Chat. Then we’ll board the 230 bus for the quickest of journeys and drop at Mosman Rowers. From there? Mosman Rowers to Circular Quay is one of the loveliest ferry rides on Sydney Harbour… Arriving in the CBD, it’s a 10min stumble to Centro 86. Margarita Happy Hour on a Saturday? Yup. Let’s do it. From there? Who knows - you loose units decide. **THE DETAILS, RULES.** a) **Ladies. Be ladies.** Keep your dress on… or, ah, ummmm. Let me re-think that. b) **Gents. Be gents.** Drink away. Flirt away. But have some self-awareness. We protect our ladies in this hiking group. We adore our trail bitches (said in my best Ice Cube rap voice). c) **$10 cash or PayID.** 50 hikers max. d) **Timing. Changes. Planning. Real-time maps. And more… is all on whatsapp.** Join it after you hit attend, or unfortunately you’ll be moved into the “Not Going” column. **[CLICK HERE.](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IGijPUBmMQrIXHjnqck55N)** e) ***Have fun! Talk shit. Laugh. And meet new folks – we’ve got the best hiking group online – I’m certain of it.*** I’ll plan a Sunday hike (to ensure a reasonable hour ghostie / save my life). Join in for hair-of-the-dog and pub crawl gossip as the SMSs hit my phone real-time. Stay tuned for that hike. See. You. Then. MJ
