Set off after work at 6:06pm. Headlamp on just after the Rip Bridge. Poles out for tough climbs.
Great opportunities for water every 10km, and at start/end. Filled up at:
- Lions Park, Woy Woy (on route/path, just before toilet block),
- Maitland Bay Visitor Centre (about 30m off route to the right, away from the building, behind the (new) toilet block, opp info sign),
- Kincumber Mountain (off route, toilet block sink, said it was tank water, there’s likely a better spot but it was dark).
- Then a quick swig from the bubbler at Rumbalara Reserve (on route, past picnic area, before toilets).
There’s a section around Macmasters where the route (and maps) veer right but there was no visible track there. The well maintained fire trail I was on linked up shortly down the track.
Continue up at the end of Clyde Road instead of veering left on the other firetrail like what my tired legs did.
Overall, an enjoyable evening in the hills.
