Trip Planned: Cowan to Brooklyn Station, 2nd Nov 08

We've had enough interest for a day walk tomorrow, 2nd Nov 08 up north in the Kuringai Chase National Park.

The walk starts at Cowan Station & conveniently ends at Hawkesbury River Station (Brooklyn), a distance of 11.2km which should take 4.5-5 hours to walk.

I've proposed 2 meeting locations, one at Hornsby Station (ticket gates) at 10am to catch the 10:22am Station to Cowan Station arriving 10:36am. Alternatively you can meet us at Cowan Station at 10:36am. Please advise in advance where you'll be meeting so we know who to wait for.

I'll provide trip notes & maps on the day however if you could bring your own food & hydration that would be great! (if you intend on returning)

We should be done by 3.30-5pm I think, the most likely trains to catch back from Hawkesbury River Station to Hornsby Station will be 4:37pm, 5:37pm & less likely the 6:37pm.

The forecast for tomorrow looks cool with a chance for a possible light drizzle, a poncho/umbrella wouldn't be a bad idea. I'd recommend being sufficiently hydrated before you begin & you shouldn't need too much hydration (~2L).

What to bring? Loose clothing is good (sporty synthetic stuff), avoid cotton clothing if you can. Comfortable walking shoes, hat, poncho/umbrella. Food & water. Some cash for transport & food if we eat after. Most importantly yourself! The walk is very picturesque (Jerusalem Bay) so a camera would be handy.
