Bold Park Tuesday Evening Walk (Internal Trails)
Bold Park, Tuart Car Park, Perry Lakes Drive, City Beach, AUJoin us for a workout along the internal bush trails of the beautiful Bold Park near City Beach. Expect a brisk hike, with an average speed of around 6kph, on undulating bush tracks with a few significant hills thrown in for fun.
At about 6km in length, this one hour workout is a great way to finish the day.
These hikes are intended for fit, regular walkers who are looking for more of a workout in nature as opposed to a gentle evening stroll.
So you don't get lost. Here is the map. 😁

Bells Rapids, Pilgrims Trail, Mount Mambup loop 11km, with optional falls 12km
Bells Rapids Park, Cathedral Ave, Upper Swan, WA, AUIts been 3 months since we did this hike and by consensus we have decided to do it again.
This is my equal 2nd favourite hills hike at the moment.
We're expecting a lovely day with temperatures between 17°C and 23°C during our walk. Expect scattered clouds. 😊
This is an interesting walk that is a little more challenging than our normal walk from Bells to Syds. It takes us along the Swan/Avon following the easy Pilgrim's Track until we just enter Walyunga National Park but from there we head uphill, experiencing 2 steep, short, rutted climbs that will test your stamina but also guaranteed to put a smile on your dial. 😊 We then traverse along the flat ridge heading south and experience stunning views of the Avon Valley and the coastal planes, ending out at the top of Mt. Mambup where we then slowly descend into the Avon Valley again, looping back to Bells Rapids. This very picturesque walk has reasonable forest cover which opens up along the ridge. Plenty of birds, kangaroos and wild flowers in season. There will be some water in the Swan/Avon. The brook flowing through the Bells Rapids Park Falls might have stopped flowing so we are unlikely to complete this option to see the water cascading over the top.
There are no National Park fees coming from this direction.
Afterwards lets go for a coffee and a chat.
Meet where: Upper carpark RHS past the toilet block. (Click on the map for the exact pin drop.📍)
Distance: 11+km, elevation gain 351m. The hike should take us about 3 hours at a comfortable pace. Optional Falls will add 1Km or 20 minutes. Add extra time if you're going for the cuppa afterwards.
Difficulty: An easy track at first but then it does involve a decent hill. Note: Please don't come if you can't do the distance & hill, you will make it difficult for all of us.
What to bring: Water, good hiking shoes, poles, hat & sunscreen.
Toilets: At the beginning/end & the café.
Coffee: Shalom Ladies Boutique Café - I love this place, let's support them. They do a great coffee and serve homemade, yummy food. It is nice to wander through their op-shop afterwards. A short drive away @ 754 Great Northern Hwy, Herne Hill WA 6056. Link here: Shalom Ladies Boutique Café
