Epic 14.5km Hike and Pub! Kurnell. Cronulla. Botany National Park. Captain Cook!

Okay team. I gotta fuckin’ gem of a hike here… If you came on our Macmasters Beach to Killcare Beach & Hardy’s Hideaway Pub it’s in a similar spirit. If you missed it? Here’s your second chance at a memorable session... Cronulla Beach to Kurnell / Botany National Park to the site of Captain Cook’s Landing to… “Cook at Kurnell” for food and drinks.

Imagine this: “Hey Davo. Grandpa died. He left us the beach property. Let’s put some booze and beer kegs into his VW van and make a service window. And let’s empty out his trailer and put a kitchen in it. We’ll add picnic tables, umbrellas, live music and open a beach bar called Cook at Kurnell.”

Who knows if that's true. But Cook at Kurnell is exactly that kind of joint… I’ve been to the bar – love it. I’ve done an hour hike in Kurnell – love it. I want more to love. So? Grab my arm, and join me.

(Apologies in advance for this suggestion, but it's my last hike of the year… if you’re prone to no shows / Friday-Saturday cancels, perhaps sit this one out / and-or see what the other hiking groups are up to. Nothing personal. I understand people have a lot on, but a great hike is where people show when they RSVP "yes".)

THE DETAILS:
9am Cronulla Station Meetup / coffee / bathroom time for 15min.
915am jump into cheapie taxis ($3-$4 per person) for drop off point (there’s FREE parking here too if driving). And the bus goes from the pub back to the parking lot).
930am hike starts!!!

Winding through Cronulla dunes and onto the beach we’ll elevate into Botany Bay National Park… I’m not going to write a lot about it. It’s absolutely beautiful. Cliffs. Ocean. Views. It’s 10/10. It’s medium-hard with some uphill bits but nothing crazy difficult. 14.5kms so be fit, healthy, and bring some good energy and thirst for a beer or two.

The 987 bus is right across from Cook at Kurnell leaving 15min past each hour, so we’ll easily get back to Cronulla Station (or it drops close to our starting point if you’ve driven). Beers. Food. Whatever we fancy. More...

a) Don’t be late. Please don’t be late. Trains run often to Cronulla. TripView App it for your arrival time.
b) $10 for this one. Cash or PayID.
c) Please bring some gold coins, eh? You’ll be splitting a quick Uber / taxi with other hikers.
d) If you drive / park by "Greenhills Outdoor Basketball Court" and send me an SMS.
d) Honour your RSVP. No shows / last minute cancels are bullshit.
e) Bring good energy. Bring mates or dates. Chat. And laughs. Let's have some grand fun in Mother Nature.

See you for an epic hike and pub to end the hiking group’s 2024. MJ
