Easy Hikes Sydney

From WE HIKE. WE WALK... to the BAR. Social Sessions in Sydney

Sometimes I write these events up and think "Wow. That's gonna be a great hike and wine. A terrific event." Other times I think *"Gulp. Here comes a lovely hike, then some chaos."* But... a lovely hike finishing with sunset on Sydney Harbour Bridge with perfect Sydney Opera House views with an ABBA cover band sounds like grand fun (and chaos) to me! **THE HIKE.** Taronga Zoo to the CBD is a not-too-often hiked journey, and it's lovely... hidden beaches. It will be so, so hard not to stop at Mosman Rowers (or shall we for a quick one?) But onward to beautiful homes, neighbourhoods. And of course the journey over Sydney Harbour Bridge and a Sydney Opera House sunset - delightful. It's 10kms, and it's pretty easy. Some bush. Some beach. And some perfect views. **ABBA.** ABBASBACK is on at **Harbour View Hotel**. I can only imagine how cheesey, how bad, and how fun this could be. I just left Harbour View Hotel for a chat with the manager - we're good for 35 hikers with an email confirmation, but she also said "The door is open. Make sure you're early. We'll let you all in, but if it's packed... well it's packed." So, I think a 6pm hike finish / pub arrival is a good time. No cover charge for the show. ABBA starts at 730pm. I then took a walk to **The Retro**... a classic Sydney nightclub at The Bristol that is back from the dead and meant to be FUUUNNNNNNN. They open at 9pm. Manager said we are all welcome. No cover charge for the nightclub. See you soon for a great event. MJ ***AN AD FROM THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT.*** ***September!!!

SPIT BRIDGE to BALMORAL BEACH to Mosman Rowers 12kms Hike!!!

Sun, Sep 13, 12:00 AM

This delightful Sunday Session has it all... beautiful hidden beaches, amazing architecture, military history, perfect Sydney Opera House views, and some bush walking around Taylor's Bay that makes you feel like you're in Tropical North Queensland. And to finish it off? **[Mosman Rowers](https://www.mosmanrowers.com.au/)** is undoubtedly one of the best hidden secrets on Sydney Harbour for a fish and chips and a wine or two... Adding an unforgettable ferry ride to Circular Quay is the icing on the Sunday Session cake. **THE HIKE** We meet just behind the bus stop at **[Spit West Reserve](https://maps.app.goo.gl/faPKgPtqXfJV4QiU8)** in the park... you'll see me in a NY hat patting some dogs no doubt. The 144 bus, 172x, and 173x all drop there - easy as. From there we'll ascend into a stunning section of Mosman then head down to **Chinaman's Beach** \- definitely one of Syd Harbour's prettiest\. From there another climb then down to **Balmoral Beach**. Ahhhhhh a classic. A stroll through Balmoral then some stairs to get us huffing and puffing to **George's Head. Chower Bay. Clifton Gardens. An incredible bushwalk to Taylor's Bay. Bradley's Head. Taronga Zoo... then onward to Corner Beach** (you've prob only seen it from the ferry) and finally **Mosman Rowers**. Mosman Rowers (bring your ID to sign in, though I've never seen anybody checking) is one of a kind... it *oooooozes* local history, the food is damn good, and the views are stunning. I'm not sure a pub on the water in Sydney duplicates the lovely, calm energy like Mosman Rowers. Your first drink won't touch the sides. **[IF YOU ARE ATTENDING THIS HIKE. CLICK HERE.

Ormonde Steps

Sat, Sep 12, 9:30 PM

Today is a nice east FAST walk around the waters of Roseville, starting in a dead end street, we find our first set of steps. We are going to head out to the Roseville Marina, depending upon our group, we may go all the way (adding another 3KM on) or we just stop under the bridge and turn around. As we head past our entry point, we continue on this magical trail till we find what we call Wellington Steps, yes, 250 steps all the way up to Wellington Road. After looking out over the view of where we have just walked we will head back to the cars via the same path.

Chatswood Charms

Sun, Sep 20, 9:00 PM

Who would believe there is a fabulous bush walk in Chatswood? That's why it is called Chatswood Charms, a delightful hike in the bushy area of Chatswood West. We find creeks, waterfalls, fabulous birdlife and lots of steps. It is easy to take a wrong turn. I hear many stories of people losing their way, so ensure you keep up with the leader, or you will need to get an Uber back to the car!
