If you are new to the sport, your meetup host can give you some tips on technique and gym etiquette. Saturday mornings at this gym are quiet. There are only a few people climbing and you can project routes without much interruption. The music is usually much quieter than other climbing gyms and more down-tempo. It's a low-intensity environment compared to other climbing gyms. If you are on the autistic spectrum or have sensory issues, this gym and meetup session may be more suitable than the meetup sessions at the larger busier gyms. The gym has heating and air conditioning. If you come in the summer and the air con is running, it is good to bring a light long-sleeve top if you are sitting around for longer periods of time between climbs. The lighting is industrial and bright. There is a small area at the back which has seating. This is good if you enter sensory overload as it is less brightly lit and quieter than the main gym area. There is a water fountain at the front desk. The gym sells snack bars, fruit, soft drinks and hot drinks. There are cubby holes for your clothing and bags in the warmup area and behind the front desk. Toilets are at the back left of the gym.

Great North Walk Thornleigh to Chatswood 18km medium

Sat, Aug 1, 11:30 PM

From Live Big! Sydney Walking and Social Meetup

Fabulous walk along the Great North Walk trail from Thornleigh Station to Chatswood Sation about 18km and a few small ups/downs but lovely bush trails ## Lane Cove National Park & The Great North Walk Sydney is incredibly fortunate to harbor a significant number of national parks right within its metropolitan boundaries. Among the most central is **Lane Cove National Park**, which begins less than 10 kilometers from the CBD as the crow flies. While surrounding suburban development has introduced some weed encroachment along the creeklines, the park beautifully preserves a wealth of original, pristine bushland across its ridges and valleys. For walkers looking to explore this pocket of wilderness, a prime section of the iconic **Great North Walk**—the massive track linking Sydney to Newcastle—cuts directly through the heart of the valley. This specific route follows the peaceful, non-tidal waters of the Lane Cove River, tracing the valley from the weir at Fullers Bridge all the way up to the northern watershed near Thornleigh. For transport info please visit [http://www.transportnsw.info/](http://www.transportnsw.info/) Around 16km medium grade a couple of ascents and descents but and track is rough in places. Should be into Chatswood station about 3:30-4:00pm ish, time for a cold beer across the road from the station! $10 fee applies to this event which can be paid in cash on the day or PayID is 0402 251036 David Matthews Make sure you have plenty of snacks think carbs/sugar as protein takes too long to process. Do not skip salt... Your body requires energy to complete longer walks... Bring a jacket in case of a change of weather and 2l of water, sturdy walking shoes/boots, hat suncream, snacks and lunch! Nowhere to top up along the way either water or food! SAFETY WARNING: Please stay away from cliff edges and be very careful when walking on wet and slippery rocks and surfaces. Please stay within sight of the group at all times and do not walk in front of the leader. If you get lost you are on your own and must find your own way out.
