BEROWRA – 28 May 2020
Berowra > Waratah Track > Windybanks Ridge > Waratah Gully > Berowra
Whilst this walk didn’t devolve into being an epic (as predicted by David), it was unanimous agreed that we loved the beginning and the end – but the middle bit was horrific and that Windybanks Ridge was a one off, never to be repeated. Continue reading
