We will join the NPA annual Christmas party lunch. Then we camp for the night. This is a good opportunity for you to join us at camp, if you prefer to car camp rather than pack walk. I have a couple of available spots in my booking. Contact me if you wish to join my booking. You can also make your own booking. The whole month of December is available for booking.  You can book to stay more than one night.

Head to Crosslands reserve (approx. 18 km, mostly downhill and relatively easy with one tricky creek crossing). We join NPA annual Christmas Party at lunch time.  Then we  camp at Crosslands: beautiful spot with water and toilets. Walk out next day to Berowra Station (6 km). Slippery sections.

Don't worry about your waistline. A few leaders would put on walks of various lengths and difficulties before and after the feast. Examples are as below: 1. Walk from Cowan to Crosslands Reserve 2. Walk from Mt. Kuring-gai Station 3. Walk from Crosslands Reserve to Berowra Station 4. Walk from Crosslands Reserve to Mt. Kuring-gai Station 5. Pack Walk from Hornsby and camp at Crosslands 6. Car camp at Crosslands Or you can simply drive to the Reserve. The picnic is self-catered. Bring a plate to share. You can choose to make a note donation instead of bringing a plate. You can do both as money raised will go to NPA. Please mention if you will be bringing a plate as we don't want to end up with just Money but no food.
