Paddling Ku-Ring-Gai by Canoe, Kayak & Surfski

Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park, a jewel of northern Sydney

A visitor from the UK gave us the perfect excuse to head out to Sydney’s beautiful Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park for an early morning paddle. With Grumm and his Father-in-Law Keith in my Wenonah Minnesota II canoe, the Riddler in my Aquanaut sea kayak and me in the Stellar SR surfski, we looked like a motley bunch heading up into the hills of the National Park. Regardless, we had a lovely time paddling our way through the pristine wilderness of the park before heading back for a bacon & egg roll breakfast – lovely! Cheers, FP
