Blue Mountains Camino 5-Day Walk 23-27 November 2021 (SOLD OUT)
NEW DATE: 23 - 27 NOVEMBER 2021 and Updated format.
The Blue Mountains Camino Supporters is a social group which shares the wonderful spirit of the Camino through various events including its 5-Day Blue Mountains Camino Walk.
The BMCS will be organising (but not leading) it's popular Blue Mountains Camino 5-Day Walk over 5 days from Penrith, at the base of the Blue Mountains, all the way to Blackheath, near the top of the Blue Mountains.
The Blue Mountains Camino 5-Day Walk is a wonderful opportunity to experience the Camino spirit right here in Australia. If you have walked a Camino and wish to rekindle the pleasures - and pain - of long distance walking with like-minded pilgrims, this walk is for you. If you have never walked a Camino, but aspire to one day, this walk is the perfect opportunity to learn from others and experience a little of the 'Camino' spirit right here in Australia.
Please be aware this is not a guided walk but rather a walk with a group of Camino friends travelling up the Blue Mountains. You will be provided with detailed maps and an information guide.
UPDATED FORMAT: Due to Covid-19 restrictions, please note that we will not be hosting a pilgrim table at the start/end of each day or organising end of day gatherings at pubs/cafe's. You can decide what time you wish to start and how far you wish to walk each day. But you will have opportunity to meet other walkers and form Camino Families - just like on the Camino!
Route Info
On this uphill route you will walk on a variety of terrain - fire roads, bush tracks, pathways, pavement (including a section along the GWH), suburban roads. There are steps and some steep sections. There will be options to deviate from the direct route to include scenic tracks or points of particular interest.
Penrith, our starting point, is 25m above sea level, and Blackheath, our end point, is at 1065m. Each day distances walked are between 14km and 27km. Although the distances don't appear long, each day will take approx 6-8 hrs, including breaks, due to the elevation gain and variable bush tracks.
Remember: all walkers are responsible for their own personal safety and well being.
