Cowan Station to Brooklyn, 2nd Nov 08

Good turn out for today's walk from Cowan Station to Brooklyn, Peter B gladly joined us at short notice which made it a strong group of 8 walkers.

To my amazement everyone arrived earlier than the proposed meeting time & came prepared! With the advent of the mobile phone I thought the days of arriving on time were long gone :)

As expected the walk definitely was an easy 5 hour stroll (lunch included) over the 11.2km traversed. I'm sure most of us would agree only the section following Jerusalem Bay caused a real puff, a climb of 200m over 600m.

4WD tracks are rarely picturesque however the spot Ant & Laura picked out for lunch I thought was amazing, overlooking the seemingly endless valleys & Hawkesbury River.

In short a good introductory walk for first timers, the group was very capable & should be rewarded with much greater intensity walks! :D

We had an out of control photography crew today so there should be plenty of photos, let me know of any links to photos from today anyone would like added to the bottom of this post. (for Flickr users I'll post some instructions on how to post to the TAS pool)

Ram, you owe me a toilet roll.
