This week’s midweek walk was a brisk trot around some fire trails in a section of Mogo State Forest yet untouched by custom-made mountain bike tracks.
It was a cold morning, but we were stripping off our down jackets, gloves and scarves after the second hill, and by the fourth hill the fleece jackets were coming off as well.
This is a pretty section of forest tucked in between Malua Bay and Dunns Creek Road. There are views over to the ocean at Rosedale and across adjoining acreage. The area is crisscrossed with trails and we spotted plenty of horse tracks, and bicycle and motorbike tyre tracks too. Being so close to town, it’s obviously quite a popular pocket of bush.
After our 8km workout, we headed to Club Malua for a chatty social lunch.
