Top Ten Tracks walked by Sydneyhiking Club in 2010
2010 is good year for Sydneyhing Club. We could not have succesful year 2010 without your participation and supporting.
Top ten tracks walked in 2010 are summerized based on my own experience.
1) Overland Track (partly) of Tasmania (December 21-22, 2010)
Overland Track may be the best one in Tasmania, the paradise for bushwalking/hiking. Over 80% walkers come from overseas (mostly from Europe). It is very comparable to Molford Track of New Zealand. You could see snow, rain, sunny and wind in 10 minutes by just walking 500 meters.
We had two days experience walking there. It will take 4-6 days for whole track of ca 80 KM.
2) Lockley Pylon to Blue Gum Forest of Blue Mountains, NSW(October 24, 2010)
It was (heavy) rainy day, and only four of us (到处流浪, Qikaidesheng, Circleyue and myself) walked and all of us had quite different experience.
3) Mount Emei, Sichuan, China (May 21-22, 2010)
Another experience to be back China, and the first time in Sichuan. It was real good exercise to walk 54 KM for 12 hours with ca 3000 meters ascent, by carrying one daypack of ca 15 KG.
May 21 afternoon (from 3:00 PM), from 黄湾charge station - 报国寺 - 里音寺 - 纯阳殿 - 清音阁 -猴区 - 清音阁 - 万年寺 - Xiaoping route - 万年寺 parking station (finishing at 7:30 PM, 22 KM with over 1000 meters 上升);
May 22 (from 8:00 AM), from 万年寺 parking station - Xiaoping route - 万年寺 - 长老坪 - 华严顶- 洗象池 - 雷洞坪 - 接引殿 - 金顶 (finishing at 15:30 PM, 32 KM with over 2000 meters 上升).
4) Hinterland of Gold Coast, QLD (Feburary 12-15, 2010)
Gold Coast is well-known for kid wonderland, and the paradises of surfers. Hinterland is totally different from beaches, and surprisingly there are no many overseas walking in Hinterland.
5) Golden Staircase to Mt Solitary via Ruined Casgtle of Blue Mountains, NSW (February 28, 2010)
Special day to welcome our old friend, Funnybird from Melbourne, Victoria.
17 of us walked this 12 KM track (ascent over 900 meters ascent) for near 7 hours.
6) Six-Foot Track of Blue Mountains, NSW (March 20-21, 2010)
"6-foot track" was scheduled in Nov 21/22, 2009, but we could not make due to serious bushfires at Blue Mountains National Park.
7 of us had overnight camping at Coxs River campground.
Some of us walked 30 km with 1130 meters ascent and 1720 meters descent for 7 hours on Saturday and 15 km with 1160 meters ascent and 390 meters descent for less than 4 hours on Sunday.
7) Light to Light of Ben Boyd National Park, NSW (April 2-4, 2010)
Had a great chance to walk ca 35 KM in Paradise (Garden of Eden), Light to Light track of Ben Boyd National Park, Eden, NSW.
Eden is not close to Sydney. It took us 7 hours driving to Ben Boyd National Park, and 8 hours back Sydney with driving distnace of near 1200 KM.
8) Glasgow TK, Zigzig TK and Silvan Reservoir Park, Melbourne, VIC (April 24-25, 2010)
Many thanks Blackbird and Funnybird of Melbournehiking Club for inviting us to walk in Melboure for ANZAC day weekend.
On April 24, six of us (Funnybird, Zhuzi, 牛人小洋、强生 of Melbourne, Xiang_x_xiang and Bushwalker) walked the famous training track "The Glasgow Track" and Zigzag TK、Channel Ten TK、Camilia TK in Dandenong Ranges National Park for near 5 hours, and in the evening 17 of us (Carisu, 小猪, 老人家, 强生, 小洋, 黑鸟, 小黑, 微笑, 芝麻, funnybird, 紫月, 东港人, Monica, zhuzi, namu, Xiang_x_xiang, bushwalking) had hot pot (涮锅) at Boxhill 的Whitehorse 路的京香园, and 干掉白酒数瓶, Both 黑鸟 and Bushwalking 喝高十分热闹.
On April 25, 12 of us (Blackbird, Funnybird, Wildbird, Sunny couple, Tammy, other four friends from Melbourne, Xiang-x_xiang, Bushwalker) walked over 20 KM at Silvan Reservoir for 6 hours.
9) Coastal Walk of Royal National Park, NSW (June 12-13, 2010)
It was tradition to overnight campe and walk at Royal National Park for each Queen's birthday weekend.
In 2010, 7 of us had anohter differnet experience from 2009. We saw Deers at least.
10) Seven (Eight) Bridges and Seven Villages, Sydney (October 31, 2010)
It is called Seven Bridges and Seven Villages walk running every last Sunday of October since 2006. But some of us walked "Eight" Bridges for whole course.
