Distance, Time, Effort: 13.2 km distance, About 4.5 hours (based on easy pace), Hard effort. It may take longer for a slower group, but we can possibly split the group if so.

Public transport example: Train from Central Platform 16 at 06:45 am gets in 07:50am. Same train is Hornsby Platform 2 at 7:37am
Note: there is often trackwork, so don't rely on this post, use TripView or similar to confirm your travel arrangements. Use our WhatsApp group to message if you are running late or need more info.

Driving: There is ample parking at Berowra Station

The hike: This is mostly all bush track so hiking shoes/boots/trail runners are recommended. With an easy descent to the water it starts off well, but there are three big climbs to eventually get to Cowan. That is why this is rated hard!

Bring 2-3 litres of water and snacks.
