Gunnamatta to Fingal - Challenging

CHALLENGING - We are reversing this hike to include an incline of STEPS!!!

***Kindly note that this HIKE has been designed to promote fitness and will require a decent level of physical fitness to finish. We will maintain a brisk pace during this hike, completing 11 kilometres in slightly over 2.5 hours. Therefore, we suggest that you carefully review all event information and ensure that you can keep up with the group. If you don't engage in any physical activity during the week or lead a sedentary lifestyle, this hike may not be appropriate for you. Please check our shorter distance hikes at a more moderate pace***

We usually kick off this hike from Fingal, ascending the 50+ steps to Fingal Beach, but this time we’re shaking things up and reversing the route! Get ready for a mostly downhill trek with a step challenge of 50+ steps, a few kilometres in.

Don’t let that scare you off! We won’t rush you. You can take your time on the steps. I know I will 😜

The payoff is improved fitness and the most stunning rock pools on the peninsula. We’re absolutely pumped for this hike because our motto is all about keeping things exciting and fitness-packed! Let’s do this!
