**[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. Club Rose Bay is that place, and this hike a real gem to hike off the calories. Oh, and if you're only keen on the hike - just be outside at 1210pm, and we'll see you 5minutes after that! Jump in.

Over the past 3 years, I hope I’ve earned your trust when I say things like: a) *“You are going to looooove this bar”;* and b) *“Wow. This hike is a secret gem you’ve gotta try.”* *Well, this hike … is a really, really cool session all hikers in this group should experience.* **THE HIKE. Artarmon Station to Spit Bridge** At first, I didn’t know what to hike to plan, so I went on my hike-map creator app and just started connecting dots from Artarmon Station… east… via this creek. Via that park. Via this neighbourhood. And onward down to Middle Harbour which then linked to Spit Bridge. Looked like a nice 12kms through the middle of Sydney, but who knows eh? Then we hiked it. 28 of us hiked it on 11 October, and not one hiker had done the entire journey prior to. At the end? ***“WOW what a great, beautiful hike / never seen this pretty side of Sydney”*** echoed throughout. It’s truly a sneaky gem of a session – we were all surprised at the beauty from start to finish. [(TEAM: AFTER YOU HIT ATTEND, COME BACK HERE AND CLICK ON THIS LINK TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP.

The finale is a lovely coastal, bush hike down to Spit Bridge where the bus will get us to the pub (to be named later – but it’s 100% on).*** There are some ups, some downs. But Artarmon (85metres above sea level) to Spit (sea level) is a downhill walk / hike. More in our group gotta see this 12kms Middle Harbour stunner.
