Rated: Off-track but on a relatively defined trail. The Castle Rock component of the walk [ optional] is rated moderately difficult.
About:
The walk commences at the end of Cape Cleveland Road and follows a rough, but well-defined track around the perimeter of AIMS and hits the northern end of the AIMS beach. From there it's up and over the saddle, and through the coastal forest to Paradise Beach. Along the way, enjoy the views of Little Beach and then Sunset beach.
For those keen to continue along to Castle Rock with Brent leading the way, Castle Rock is at the northern end of Paradise beach. You will either enjoy a long stroll along the beach followed by a very steep ascent to the Rock or cut inland to take a more gradual ascent to Castle Rock. Don't worry you'll still get the steep scramble at the end no matter which way you go! Your heart rate will be ever so elevated by the time you hit the high point and see spectacular views to the north and south of you. Enjoy your lunch at the summit and prepare yourself for the journey back to the cars. OR you can stay back with Molly and enjoy lunch at Paradise Beach.
What to expect:
For those heading to Paradise beach with Molly, I’d say this is a moderate grade hike. For those continuing onwards with Brent to Castle Rock, I’d say this would add a challenge, as there will be some scrambling required to get to the top. Either way this is a great place to head to and you have the 2 best people to take you there. Expect this to be a 5ish hour + day. There is space for only about 4 or so cars near AIMs – So we will be meeting at a different meeting spot to carpool before we head to the start. Details will be emailed to those that RSVP
