The Friday ride.  Easy coastal ride.  Cycle path and best beach scenery.  Pristine coastline.  Exquisite escarpment views, Mostly flat and relaxing ride.  A couple of stops, and coffee at Thirroul.  Yea, yea, yea…

But here is the thing;  we are mostly retired folks and we don’t have the ridged structures that we had when we work working.  There is no Monday to Friday work and weekend off.  It all gets a bit confusing.  The Friday ride is here to help !   Every Friday, like clockwork, the ride starts form Stuart Park.

Now you have Friday ride, Bin night, Christmas and Easter.  Your time and place in the universe has been established.  All is well with the world !

Early start 7:30am to beat the heat.

A pleasant evening walk from Towradgi through Corrimal Caravan Park, behind the sand dunes to Bellambi returning via Corrimal beach mid tide. Sunset 8:02, Moonrise 8:24. Bring food, possibly to share,  and munch while watching the sun set and waiting for the moon. Council regulations prohibit alcohol in the park or on the beach.

A warm top would be handy if the night is cool. Best footwear is easily removed sandals to best experience Corrimal Beach barefoot. Last year we were entertained by a seal. Carry a spare chair or 2, in case we fill up the shelter shed.

YES its another creek walk for a summer’s day. Parking at the end of Upper Kangaroo River Road at Flatrock. This walk is all off track involving crossing the river at the start, usually only ankle deep. We make our way upstream beside the river and in the river (often calf deep) visiting a beautiful hidden waterfall. Numerous pretty cascades along the way with lots of swimming opportunities. It’s a return route so we turn back whenever we choose. Best clothing is Dunlop Volleys/covered toe sandals such as Keens or joggers with grip plus active wear long or 3/4 length tights/long pants. Your legs will be wet all day so leg protection is a good idea hence above suggestion.

This is a combined walk with Shoalhaven Bushwalkers

Three days walking in the Snowy Mountains based in a private lodge in Guthega. The walks will generally be grade 3 but it is hoped to also offer easier walks for those wanting to be a bit more relaxed. More information will be supplied on registration of interest.
