Comparing The Oaks to Six foot track
I have never done the Six Foot Track by foot or bike but always wanted to. Now that I have managed The Oaks up and back I was wondering if I can now attempt Six Foot track as an up and back? There seems a little more vertical but the distances seem similar. Anyone got a good gpx file with altitudes so I can compare? Is there any drinking water available on the track do I need to carry everything? How much walking is there? I was planning starting at the cemetery in Megalong Valley. What do you think?
Six Foot track, Blue Mountains
Hi Mobbers, planning a trip on 6 ft track leave Blackheath, overnight at Caves House and back. Anyone done this? I did it about 15 years ago and stuck to fire road, other than the single track into the river (bushwalking track). I have heard that you can turn right about 1km up from caves house and takes bike in?. Anybody got some info on this?
Cheers.
Six Foot Track
The Six Foot Track is the old horse and carriage track that runs between Katoomba and the Jenolan Caves - while you can ride it in either direction (or both if you desire), when I last did it we drove to Katoomba, caught the bus to Jenolan Caves and rode back. It is a mixture fire tail, sniggle, paddocks, and steps, that take you over mountains, through forests, across rivers and over paddock fences. There are plenty of ups that hurt and brake glowing downs and about 1000 steps at the end to hike a bike up. It over 42k's because they run a marathon over the course.
