More Kingborourgh Trails

Friday, 21 July 2017

I haven't had time to do any big jog/hiking adventures lately, so I've been continuing my exploration of the local Kingborough trails I've previously ignored.

The photos above are from the Dave Burrows walk just south of Margate. It was only about 2.4 k, but a delightful run to the water and back. It was so nice that I took the kids along to run it later in the week - their first ever training run. I wasn't allowed to join them of course, so I just sat in the car. I snuck some photos of them heading off though!

As the Dave Burrows walk was a bit short, on the day I ran it I combined it with a short drive down the road and then a run along Snug River trail to Snug Beach. It was also lovely..

I suspect a smaller trail continues up the river past Snug Primary School, I explored it for a little while but then turned around to do the published route plus a little bit extra at the beach on the other side of the river.

Today I went to Howden and ran along the very inappropriately named Stinkpot Bay trail. It was only 1km out and back but it was beautiful.

As it was so short I combined it with a 2km run along the road to join up with the Wingala Gully Track.  This track wasn't anything special but nice enough. The stretch along the road was more interesting as it allowed me to sticky beak at all the lovely houses and farms. It's a really lovely area.

It's been really nice to stop and visit these places that I drive past so often!  Kingborough has so many lovely beaches and waterfront areas.
