There will be one bushwalking at Gleenbrook region of Blue Mountain this Sunday July 12.

"Blaxland to Gleenbrook via Duckhole":  It will take about 7 (???) hours for this most challenging track of 9.5 KM (only one way). Despite being shown on local map, this track is indistinct, overgrown and at times seemingly non-existent. Nonetheless, deep swimming holes, tranquil surroundings and a true sense of being off the beaten track make this a great day out for the intrepid bushwalkers.

As "Blaxland to Gleenbrok via Duckhole" is only  half of classic track of "Springwood to Gleenbrook via Duckhole", and this classic track could be finished in one day (source from National Park Association of NSW),  I just doubt whether 7 hours for such track of  9.5 KM  (total of asc. and des.  < 400M) is correct or not, let us find the estimated time.

It is compulsory to wear hiking/bushwalking shoes/boots.

Meet at north side of Ashfield train station 8:20AM or south side (Railway Pde) of Burwood train station 8:25AM;

or Meet at Glenbrook Visitor Information Centre (of Great Western Highway, Glenbrook Park) 9:00AM if you drive own car or catch train.

Please SMS 0402 817 164 for intention(confirmation)

Today's track of "Blaxland to Gleenbrok via Duckhole" (9.5 KM) was not so easy as it took seven of us 7 hours 15 minutes to finish, which is 15 minutes more than expected 7 hours.

组织有序，下周继续。
就是不知道明天腿会酸到什么程度。

There will be one bushwalking at Faulconbridge region of Blue Mountain this Sunday July 19.

"Faulconbridge Ridge to the Grose River (17 KM, 5 hours)": While the upper Grose River is regularly visited by people heading for the Blue Gum Forest and surrounds, the lower Grose is often forgotten. This is a pity, as in many ways it is more wild and less touched than some of the upper sections. This walk follows a fire trail and old walking track down to a beautiful swimming hole.

It is compulsory to wear hiking/bushwalking shoes/boots.

Meet at north side of Ashfield train station 8:20AM or south side (Railway Pde) of Burwood train station 8:25AM;

or Meet at corner of Grose Road and Jennings Road, Faulconbridge at 9:30AM.

Please SMS 0402 817 164 for intention(confirmation)

bushwalking

There will be one bushwalk at Blue Mountains, one of these two options: 1) Look out Leura; 2) Meeting the Three Sisters.

Look out Leura: This walk takes in numerous stunning viewpoints over valleys, creeks and waterfalls. While there are a few climbs we do not descend to the floor of the Jamison Valley.

Meeting the Three Sisters:  Just about everyone who visits the Blue Mountains calls on the Three Sisters at the Echo Point Look Out. However not many people will get to know these elderly ladies as well as hikers on this walk. We get to one  of the sisters skirt-hem and further on admire the sisters from a different perspective than the many visitors at Echo Point. This hike take us down the steep Giant Stainway to a citcuit walk below the Sisters and to the less visited Leura Forest before returning via the Scenic Railway to a visitors centre. Stunning view highlight the walk around the rim of the valley back to the starting point.

It is compulsory to wear hiking/bushwalking shoes/boots.

Meet at the corner of Craigend Street and Leura Mall, Leura 9:50AM.

Please SMS 0402 817 164 for confirmation.
