WATAGAN NP – 4 June 2020
As some of you may recall, I’ve been searching for some elusive canyons in the Watagans alluded to by the (late) legendary Dug Floyd in a Facebook post many years ago.  This was to be my fourth foray into the wilderness, and I almost didn’t make it! Continue reading →

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 →

BRISBANE WATERS NP – 15 May 2020
It’s been six weeks since the lockdown, and some restrictions have been lifted, up to 10 people can get together to walk, as long as social distancing is practised. Apart from local fitness walks I haven’t done a full day walk so when the opportunity to go on a real walk came up I couldn’t help myself.   The bonus for me was that I’d always wanted to do the Spion Kop walk, and that was where Trish, Brad and Peter were going.
