Work out with a Walk out on Farrer and Isaacs Ridges
Sun 18th Aug 2024
Join me for a good morning's work out as we complete a circuit of Farrer and Isaacs Ridges. We'll start from the Parks Depot on Athllon Drive (near the corner of Sulwood Drive) where we'll leave our cars to return a couple of hours later. Expect open grassy woodland, fire trails, a steep short climb up to the top of Isaacs Ridge (making sure we dodge any mountain bike riders who dare to come down at the same time!), and a bit of open off terrain walking. Gentle walking but you'll be surprised that we notch up the kilometres, calories and ascent on this urban 'bushwalk'.
If anyone's up to it we can decamp at the end to enjoy the delights of the new French bakery at the Kambah shops. Promises of good coffee and amazing patisserie delights. It's worth the visit! This outing component is entirely optional.
