Take a seat on the Stone Throne at 'Little Monks' - evening ramble

Most dislike walking up the Banks Steep Track, so we won't. Walk the back of houses in Banks, then puff very steeply (230vm up, 700m across the ground) off-track up to the Monks. Have a sit on the stone throne under the Kurrajong tree at 'Little Monks', then take in the enormous view north through west to south from the trig at Big Monks. Return down the Banks Steep Track by torchlight if necessary.
Sunset at 7.24pm, just see 7.50pm. Around 5km and 300vm.
Meet ready to walk at 6.30pm beside 21 Orange Thorn Cres Banks. The car park is somewhat eroded - please be considerate of residents and others if parking in the street. The meet point is marked 'Car park for Banks Trail - Big Monks' on Google Maps.
Bring a torch and a sense of humour.
Please book.
If weather looks threatening text 'Walk on?' to 0417436877 from 5pm onwards and I will answer Y or N.
