Mount Kuring-gai to St Ives Showground (section 4 of Oxfam Trailwalker) 20km
About this event
We will be starting from Mount Kuring-gai station at 8:50am walking to Bobbin Head (5km) via Apple Tree bay and have a quick break here. From here, we will start section 4 of the Oxfam Trailwalker series to St Ives Showground. This section is about 15.3km. We will take a lunch break at Sphinx memorial. I completed the 100km Oxfam last year and unfortunately, this year has been cancelled due to covid-19, so come checkout parts of the Oxfam walk I did with me again! This isn’t a particularly hard walk (6-7 hours), but they will be 2 longer climbs. There is forecasted rain (will update more on this later on in the week). Pace will be about 4km/hour. If you are taking public transport, there is a 7:45am train from Central platform 16 direct to Mount Kuring-gai. I will be hoping on this train from Gordon station. There is a bus (197) at our end point ( St Ives Showground ) that will take us to Gordon station within 15 minutes. The 197 bus ends at Macquarie Park.
