We had too much FB in past months. Let us have real FB or SPFB (super fit body defined by our mate Circleyue) for this Sunday.
We are going to walk the another part of Great North Walk, from Hornsby to Mount Kurning-gai via Galston Gorge in Berowra Valley Region Park.
Hornsby to Galston Gorge (8.2 KM, 3-3.5 hours, 437 M ascent)
Starting at Hornsby station, you soon head into the bush and down the steep depression era stone steps through the volcanic Old Mans Valley, to a picnic area at the end of Rosemead Rd. Here you follow the Blue Gum walk through one of Sydney’s rare Blue Gum Forest stands to then cross Berowra Creek a few times at Fishponds waterhole. After exploring the edge of the valley you will cross the Steele Military Bridge before climbing to Tunks Ridge rest area. Not far from here the walk starts to lead steeply down enjoying more sandstone caves to cross under Galston Road to find the Galston trackhead.
Galstone Gorge to Mount Kurning-gai (12.6 KM, 5-5.5 hours, 844 M ascent)
This walk follows the eastern side of the steep Berowra Creek valley from Galston Gorge to Crosslands and then heads over the ridge to follow Lyrbird Gully up to the train station at Mt Kuring-gai. This enjoyable section of The Great North Walk spends most of the time enjoying the wide tidal creeks in the deep valleys. There are many grass trees and sandstone caves to enjoy as well as several lovely places to camp. Crosslands provides road access, a chance to fill up the water bottle and an optional side trip to motel style accommodation at Crosslands Conventions centre.
The whole course will take 6-9 hours including morning tea, lunch break and afternoon tea.

It seems that most of us like super fit body (SPFB)activity. We will have at least 12 who are going to this Sunday "challenging" track, only 10 less than 22 on last Sunday May 8, 2011
