Bold Park Tuesday Evening Walking Workout - START TIME 5.30pm
Bold Park, Tuart Car Park, Perry Lakes Drive, City Beach, AUNow it’s Springtime - Join us for a late afternoon 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.
We will meet in the Tuart Car Park and depart at 5.30pm on the dot, or earlier, if all registered members are there.
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, AUThis is one of our favourites and the Thursday group needs to get some hills in.
We're expecting a moderate day with temperatures between 16°C and 18°C and slight chance of rain during our walk. 😊
This is my equal 2nd favourite hills hike at the moment.
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 season is almost done. There will be water in the Swan/Avon. The brook flowing through the Bells Rapids Park Falls might be flowing so we are likely 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.
MeetUp 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. The 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. Maybe an umbrella?
Toilets: At the beginning/end & the café.
Coffee: Shalom Ladies Boutique Café - I love this place, let's support this charity as they are great people and really look forward to our patronage. They do a great coffee and serve homemade, yummy food. Ask Gareth about their ginger bread. 😋 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
