So I have been putting off doing this walk ever since I got back from my Brisbane trip last October. This is my second walk from Hornsby to the CBD and it was one of my first big walks as well. For that one I followed the Pacific Highway from Wahroonga to Pymble before heading down to Lane Cove National Park and then Macquarie Park
Originally for this walk I was going to go via St Ives but thought it was quite the detour. It would have seen me go straight from Hornsby to St Ives and then straight down to Gordon but I had the epiphany to do a Hornsby to Manly walk and include St Ives that way and I could even have lunch at the Warringa Mall
As for Gordon, it's the only council seat I haven't visited yet at all (I still haven't visited Lane Cove at all. I thought it would just be a boring stroad but it pleasantly surprised me. St Leonards is definitely worse in that regard for being a hub centered around a stroad
This is also my first time approaching North Sydney in a way that's not from a highway (Pacific Highway and Military Road) so I it was nice to see a bit of the character of North Sydney, though Pacific Highway and felt a bit hard to avoid without taking detours

CBD to Mount Pepsi next
LA Ice for me please.
Nice, I like to walk back from uni too, but it’s only 20km, can’t compare to yours
Solid job! What time did you start and finish?
I can see the time at the very start I think but I can never find the end time? I’m curious how long it takes to get between certain landmarks.
Do thin people simply not get chub rub? My inner thighs would be bloody if I tried doing this walk on on a humid day.
Mt Cola**h**, but yes Pacific Highway is hard to avoid as it follows the ridgeline, so it’s more economical energy-wise for walking.
*Mount Colah.
You always walk by yourself or in company?
Still waiting for a Sketchers sponsorship
Love it when you post another urban adventure snail-trail. Very inspirational.
