Saturday 11th February 2006

The run this Saturday will be from Ourimbah for 20 to 30 k’s depending on individual needs to really beat yourself up.

Start time at Ourimbah will 7:00 AM, for those of us who are not familiar with the route we will meet outside the Epping Hotel opposite the railway station, meeting time will be 5:50 AM, leave at 6:00.

Directions

Take the Ourimbah exit from the F3, follow the signs to Palmdale which is right at first roundabout then left at the second roundabout. Follow the road for about 2km to another roundabout, turn left and drive for 1km until you see a carpark on your right. Park around there. The run starts by following the road for about 1 mile and there will be a dirt road going off to the right. Turn there and follow up a very big hill. After about 40min (Peter Truscott time, probably somewhat more for the less athletically gifted amongst us, i.e. me) you will come to a intersection, stay on the main road to the left, do not go right. keep following for another 30min (refer previous comment re times) and you will come to a T intersection. Turn right and follow for 5 km ending up a big hill and you come to a quarry like looking area. Here you can turn around and retrace your steps home. This will be a 30km run. If you only want to do 20km turn at the intersection.

Alternative Run

George will take a group on an easy 11.5 kms from Buffalo Creek reserve, running towards Boronia Park Hunters Hill, west Lane Cove and back starting at 6.30am
