The North Shore Cycleway Bike-Cache Adventure #3

North Shore Cycleway Series #3:

Flatrock to Freeway

Please see the NSCS #1 cache page for the background to the series, route planning and general advice.

This Cache: The next section of the ride is arguably the nicest bit of cycleway this side of the Bridge. "Prentice Park" is located unflatteringly below the Gore Hill Expressway. However the cycle path is separated, well marked, and a joy to ride on. It stretches a mere 1,000m from Artarmon Reserve to Naremburn. Flatrock Creek flows beside you, though it has been canalised or piped most of the way. You can get some real speed up in both directions here! From the Willoughby Council Signage - "Named after Sir William and Lady Prentice, long term residents of Naremburm. Sir William MBE had a long and distinguished military and legal career in Australia and PNG, including the Kokoda Track. Lady Prentice was deeply comitted to helping the disadvantaged in the community and both sharded a lifelong love of the local bushland."  

The Final: Just like my original series here there is a puzzle cache final to be found! Collect the bits of co-ords from each of the caches along the way, piece them together, and voila! There will be a bonus box for you to discover at journeys end. Please leave the laminated Co-ords cards in the original caches for others to find.
