[SUBW-A] Trip Report - faulconbridge ridge/ grose river -9/3/08

[P Harvey]

Party: Lise Marie Andersen, Tom Murtagh, Robert Stevens, Pete Harvey

My plans of doing a weekend trip to Galong Creek didnt end up coming to
fruition (not for the first time), and so instead a small group of us set
out for what turned out to be a fairly leisurely day walk. After meeting at
Strathfield station on sunday morning we drove to Faulconbridge and out to
the locked gate on grose rd. The walk out to the end of the ridge took about
an hour and a half. There are some excellent views from here looking down
into the Grose river valley. Returning about 1km back along the fire trail,
we took the side track which leads down to the river. The track was in good
nick and after some easy rock scrambling we reached the river in time for
lunch and a swim. On returning, we arrived back at the car with plenty of
time to stop off at the Lapstone Hotel for some cold beers before returning
to Sydney. Thanks to those who came along for an enjoyable day of
bushwalking.
