Otford train tunnel walk.
Sun 18th Jan 2026
Walk will start from Otford train station. Hike up a steep hill to Lady Wakehurst Drive, then onto Bald Hill lookout. We might have morning tea then walk down a lot of man made steps to the southern end of Otford Tunnel
The tunnel is completely dark and about 1.8 km long. You will need a good torch and good foot wear. After reaching the Northern end of the tunnel we will finish back at Otford Station.
A walk with a duration ranging from part-day to multi-day. Multi-day walks will require some form of accommodation or camping. Contact walk leader (owner) for full details.
At our club we use a grading system common to many bushwalking clubs in NSW to indicate the expected level of difficulty of a walk. See: https://www.southcoastbushwalkers.org.au/what-we-do/walk-grading
Grading information can assist you to decide if the walk is suitable for your level of fitness and experience. However, grading is subjective and must only be taken as a guide, so always ask the walk leader for advice if you are unsure about whether the walk is suitable for you.
The walk leader has full discretion in determining if members or introductory members are accepted for any walk.
See the SCBW website , "What to bring" page under "Member Information" for guidelines on what you'll need to bring. https://www.southcoastbushwalkers.org.au/member-information/what-to-bring
The Club’s ethos seeks to undertake more challenging and remote walking with a preference for Grade 4-6 walks but we also include some "Recreational Walks" (RW) which cover Grades 1-3.
