This is a good run too, but lets stay with walking..
Drive out to the base of Clear Mountain Road, by turning left at the Ira Buckby roundabout onto Samsonvale Rd which becomes Winn Road. There is a little parking bay at the intesection with Clear Mountain Road. It's 7km in total up and down, a good walk, with steep inclines on the way up, and steep downhills on the way down. Concentrate on your posture on the way up and keep those legs pumping. Your heart rate will rise, keep it up there and you will get maximum benefit!
On the ay down control your descent, your quadriceps will get a good workout. Brilliant views to the north on the way up and down, across to Glasshouse. At the turnaround point just after the Hotel at the top, you get excellent views south down past the city towards the Gold Coast.
I've only ever run this so I estimate it will take you an hour all up - a well spent hour!
This is obviously good for running and cycling, although I'd hate to ride up. Running usually takes 20+min for an experienced runner to get to the top and a bit less down.
