The work group bush walking went into hibernation during winter while I was away on holidays.
The walk today was previous course we did back late last year but this time we did it in reverse.
Same start place at Mawson shops, over to Yamba Dr and around the back of East O'Malley estate. Some big houses over there.
Then, following the fire trail behind O'Malley up on to Isaacs Ridge, steep short climb up to the top but good views once up there.
On to Long Gully Road, then over to Wanniassa Hills, touch the trig, down under Yamba Dr to Farrer Ridge and eventually back to Athllon Dr for the short distance back to the start.
Last time we did this course, almost the same distance we took exactly 4 hours of walking time. This time shaved 11 minutes off, so the group must have improved over the past 12  months.
Girls outnumbered the boys today 5 - 2, making the 4 hours more enjoyable. It was all good fun, but I'm sure some will moan about sore legs tomorrow. Ha Ha.
