Weekday Walkers hit their stride

Participants on the recent Box Head walk

Although some bad weather interrupted the official start to the year, the Weekday Walkers have hit their stride, with several new members joining the ranks and their most recent walk attracting 14 people.

The uphill walk from Hardys Bay to the Box Head Track took the group through the angophoras to enjoy great views across Broken Bay to Lion Island and Barrenjoey from Box Head.

The group returned via Pretty Beach to Wagstaffe, where walkers enjoyed a picnic lunch near the ferry wharf.

The next scheduled walk is Maitland Bay to the Bouddi Lookout on May 2.

The 8km walk is listed as medium to hard.

Anyone with the appropriate fitness level is welcome to join in.

Walkers will meet at Maitland Bay Beach car park on Scenic Dr, near Maitland Bay Dr, Killcare Heights for a 9.30am start.

They should bring water, morning tea and lunch.

On May 9 the group will take the train to Central and the light rail to Marion Station, from where the walk begin, taking walkers along Hawthorn Canal to Long Nose Point and then to Balmain to catch a ferry to Circular Quay for the return home by train.

The 9km walk is listed as easy-medium and will provide views of Rodd, Spectacle and Cockatoo Islands.
