TODAY’S HIKE.
Manly Wharf to Spit Bridge. So much to see… West Manly Cove Beach, Manly Pavilion, Forty Baskets Beach, Reef Beach which spills into a diverse bush walk in National Park. Harbour views. Secluded Beaches. Wildlife. Mansions on the water to Clontarf and Spit Bridge. Crossing Spit Bridge we’ll enjoy a solid rest at Chinaman’s Beach – you’re in for a real treat. After Chinaman’s, we’ll neighbourhood / bush walk down to Balmoral Beach – another delightful Sydney spot.

THE TRANSPORT.
a) 920am Manly Fast Ferry leaves Circular Quay from Wharf 2. But check the boards just in case. It arrives 940am, and we’ll head off from Hugo’s Manly (great restaurant / they will be closed / good place to meet) there at 945am.
b) From Balmoral Beach there are quite a few options – easy to plan on the day.

THE OTHER STUFF.
a) Don’t be late. We leave on time / 5mins after. Or consult the map and catch up!
b) The cost. The hike is $10. Cash or PayID.
c) Honour your RSVP. No shows… well, not on at all. It's anti-social. You’ll be nudged out of the group.
d) Fitness matters. There will be ups. Downs. 19kms. Nothing super technical / challenging, so our pace should be pretty good.
e) Stay tuned for post-hike beer plan… The Buena in Mosman is lovely. We’ve also had a nice time at Minsky’s. I’ll plan it.
f) Bring mates, dates, etc...

See you for a beautiful hike, beers, and laughs. MJ
