Katoomba to Katoomba via Mt Solitary (up the East Col) (36km, elev 2000m)
About this event
This is one of my fav hikes. Distance: 36km (if finish at Golden stairs, save 4km of street walk see transport section) Elevation: 2000m Diffuclty: hard due to distance, elevation and terrain! Description: From Scenic world, We take Furber steps down and take sublime point trail to solitary first (700m+ non stop ascend), then ruined castle (optional if good on time with daylight) than back up the recently opened golden stairs (probably in the dark) to finish. Weather: ? Transport: There is a train on Sunday from central that will reach katoomba at 8:25am, will update closer to the event. To those driving, I recommend we do some car shuffles and park a few cars at the top of golden stairs to avoid the 4.7km street walk slog back to station. Water refill: Kedumba River Creek (just before the huge climb), treatment needed (filter/purify). 18km. Ruined Castle Campsite (28km) water tank (clean enough without treatment, but it will be near the end of the hike).
