Here are the list of all the hikes I’ve routed out on AllTrails myself and have completed this year (starting July 2020 after Sydney lockdown eased), feel free to click on each one for a more indept recap & review of each hike and to download the GPX, get the allTrails recording so you can do these yourself. I host longer day hikes every Sunday through my meetup group (8-10+ hours). I also do night hikes on either Saturday/Friday night and some trail runs on Saturday morning.

Note: Rain hikes mean the hike was done in the rain and is quite safe to do so. Night hikes mean the hike was done in the dark with a headtorch and is quite safe to do so.

Note on diffuclty: The difficulty i provided here on each post is how I feel doing it taking distance, elevation, terrain and weather into account. Distance does not really affect me. A 42km marathon in perfect conditions with no elevation where I need to complete under 4 hours would be between a 7.5-8/10, use this as a benchmark.

These are all open tracks as of 23/12/2020 and/or when I completed these, please check for updates on National Parks website.
