2025 Sport/Life Most Popular Posts
While the year has been fairly quiet on the Sport/Life site, people have trickled in looking at different Canberra Walks posts as well as some footbag interviews. Here are the 2025 Sport/Life Most Popular Posts.
This was an interview with Johnny “Breakdown” Sara who was organising a big footbag event in Los Angeles. As we come into the new year, there’s another one about to happen.
2. Canberra Walks – Mulligans Flat Ground to Sky Walk
This one is a shorter walk within the Mulligans Flat area. There’s now the big visitors centre and a few extra additions that I don’t think were complete when I went on this walk. Interesting that this was the most popular of the walking posts as it’s a fairly straightforward track on a nice boardwalk. One that didn’t quite make the top 10 list was a journey covered in this video which shows some similar territory.
3. Canberra Walks – Cotter Bend – Cotter Cave
This one has been a popular one in the past and the concept of the Cotter Cave is quite interesting, despite the fact you can’t enter. Here’s some further information about the caves in the area.
4. Interview with Jordan Mahaffey from Foot Clan Footbags
This was another footbag related interview. Jordan has been doing some great work with Foot Clan footbags spreading the word and has been appearing at various tournaments and really improving his game. He’s also been building up the Footbag Spot website. I started the year with a couple of interviews and hopefully I’ll get around to doing some more in the coming times.
5. Canberra Walks – Isaacs Ridge
Another walking post. It seems some of the photos now have become a bit stretched. This seems to be a problem across various areas of the site, including the front page. I’ll have a look into that. This is a pretty good walk and there are some mountain bike trails in the area as well. You can expand this with various side quests such as around the quarry at Mugga Mugga and other parts of the Centenary Trail.
6. Canberra Walks – Mugga Mugga Nature Reserve
Funnily enough the neighbouring walks are neighbouring in this chart as well. I just linked this post in the previous little writeup. A good little adventure if you need to go to any of the embassies in O’Malley area. Here is a drone clip of the area.
7. Canberra Walks – Butters Bridge
With the big Molonglo River Bridge in progress, this might not seem so out of place. I’ve been in this area a few times and they’ve also expanded it with the Namarag area. But on the first visit this area seemed really random and out of place. The area keeps growing and growing though so soon enough it will be in the middle of the suburbs.
8. Canberra Walks – Cotter Avenue – Cotter Bend
This one is a very straightforward and easy walk down at the Cotter. It is just on a paved path. They’ve rebuilt some bridges which have washed away in flooding over different years but the track is still there and a very family friendly simple walk.
9. Canberra Walks – Percival Hill – Harcourt Hill
I had actually thought of doing some variation of this walk yesterday but didn’t quite make it in that direction. You can do this as a circuit walk with the CSIRO land meaning you have to go right around rather than taking any shortcuts.
I covered this kind of territory and a bit beyond in this ride a few years back.
10. Canberra Walks – Gungaderra Grasslands
This one I believe was the first walking post that I did on this site. The post is about 10 years old which sounds about right, although maybe I had done some beforehand. This is the grassland area behind Crace and can be combined with a few other walks in the Gungahlin area. There are a variety of tracks here, some more overgrown than others but it’s a pretty easily accessible area and worth a look.
So those are the top ten stories of the year. I started of with some enthusiasm and motivation with a couple of interviews but then basically did nothing from there. I think the site was actually down for some months. Taking a look it seems there is some work to do with weird images and broken links and so on and so forth. I won’t commit to anything right now but I’ll first try to figure out why things are going that way and go from there.
Thanks to anyone who stopped by along the way, seems people are quite interested in some of the different Canberra Walks.
