50th Walk!!
An achievement for the Whacky Wise Women of Sydney
50 ticked, done, blogged, photographed, enjoyed, 50 in 15 months
Fifty! Some of us have done all 50 walks , some of us have done less but Fifty is now the number on our Score Sheet. Celebration it has to be and we will do that soon.Champagne coming up.
What is our average age? At a guess, possibly 68. All these walks have been within 30Kms of the CBD.
What next then for us then? Another 50 of course, more walks waiting for us to hit the trail. I know of one certain repeat walk to be done fairly soon, in Spring. That is the Manly Wildflower Circuit Definitely a repeat there but after that there are another brand new 50 walks on my List. So much to see and enjoy and as I always say, Sydney is full of undiscovered secrets. The Bluegum Walk near Hornsby is an absolute joy. Anyone who enjoys the outdoors and a bit of a walk, or even a little challenge should do this walk. It has many elements, yes, a little challenge but not over taxing, there are creeks, a stand of Sydney Blue gums, Angophoras, Water Gums, pink wax flowers, an abundance of flannel flowers in bud. The bracken is richly green and lush. Fishponds waterhole is a magical atrraction. Tumbling great boulders and rocky overhangs, rock ledges and steps to test your clamber skills, bush paths as well as a good fire trail, all exhilrating,exciting and alway enticing. Creeks with rushing water. what a joy. Remember the drought! How dry some walks were then. Trees dominated, towered above us majestically and sometimes mystically.
