Completed this walk lunch time today. Easy walk and very enjoyable. I am going to try and run the climb in two weeks time with my training partner. Keep you posted.

Easy walk with fantastic views at the top of the ocean on one side and mountains on the other. Highly recommended.

A great quick walk to get the blood pumping... spectacular view even if it highlights the gradual infection of development over the coast...

I have never seen so many good looking fit people jogging up a mountain before. If you like a bushwalk with traffic this is for you !

An excellent afternoon walk, bit wet and slippery. Great Sunset when the clouds parted.

Short but reasonably tough walk. Hot on the day I did it and fairly exposed, not much shade. Excellent views from the top.
