Spectacular Bushwalk - Famous Oxfam Trail Section 1 - in Reverse: 12 km!

Spectacular Bushwalk - Former Oxfam Trail Section 1 - in Reverse: 12 km!!

We meet at Cowan Train Station by 10:45AM where we begin Section 1 of the former Oxfam Trail, but in reverse!

This is the ideal walk for members who would like to taste the famously hard Oxfam Trail Sections 1 + 2, but over a short distance of 12 km, ending at Brooklyn, where we can enjoy a tasty beer at the lovely old-style pub, The Anglers Rest Hotel, before training out from Hawkesbury River Train Station.

We will stop for lunch about 1/2 of the way through the walk for lunch. Bring something nice to eat! NO SHOPS AT THIS LUNCH LOCATION SO MEMBERS MUST BRING FOOD!

I aim to complete the day’s walking by no later than 4:00PM
