28 Mar, Sat 8:00AM				The flying Carpet and cliff lines of Carne creek
Grade:5/6		Length	7km	200m	Sydney Branch

Projecting itself out of the cliff into the void above Carne creek is the aptly named Flying Carpet. This narrowish slab of rock affords the cautious walker outstanding views of the surrounding cliff lines all around and far down into Carne creek. We will also visit the wonderful Koan Cave as we progress along the escarpment. rock scrambling and offtrack walking Location: Gardens of Stone SCA Map: Cullen Bullen 89313N Limit: 12. View

11 Apr, Sat 8:00AM				Upper Govetts Leap creek wanderings
Grade:5/6		Length	10km	200m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
This walk takes in a lot of wild country in the upper reaches of Govetts Leap Creek and a short section of Katoomba Creek and involves a fair bit of creek walking and offtrack walking along with some tracks thrown in for good measure! All in all you can expect a lot of variety and almost certainly few people! So if you are in the mood for a walk not listed in any guide book then this is for you! In other words...adventurous types welcome. offtrack and rock scrambling Location: Blue Mountains National Park Map: Katoomba 1:25 000 Limit: 12. View

18 Apr, Sat 7:30AM				The Grose river Big Bend via Faulconbridge point firetrail
Grade:5/6		Length	17km	700m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
On this walk we will follow the Faulconbridge firetrail until about half a kilometre from the point and then we head bush down the ridge to the picturesque Grose River. Time for a swim and lunch before walking back along the river to the well formed Grose River walking track which is then followed back to the starting point. Expect some offtrack walking and a bit of rock hopping along the Grose River. This is a walk for those who want to get away from the maddening crowds and enjoy some mid mountains wilderness along the Grose River. offtrack and rock hopping Location: Blue Mountains National Park Map: Springwood Limit: 12.

Grade:5/6		Length	6km	340m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
This walk will take us to a system of creeks and waterfalls where timber cutters used to roam and although the stumps are still there to see, there's so much to explore in this region that will keep us occupied for many an hour. Lots of Tafoni weathering amongst a boulder glade and some very strange shaped rocks to climb and some stupendous huge trees to admire and all this very close to Bilpin, off the Mountain Lagoon road. offtrack and rock scrambling Location: Wollemi NP Map: Mountain Lagoon 90313S Limit: 12.
