The “**Manly Beach to Spit Bridge Hike**” is… ***So. Damn. Beautiful.*** It's widely considered the prettiest of the Sydney Harbour hikes. And? We’re adding **Chinaman’s Beach** \- one of the sleeper Sydney beaches\, and perhaps it’s the best\. Let’s do it all\, and finish at stunning **Balmoral Beach**. I'll need the sun & hike to dust off our **[Christmas Pub Crawl](https://www.meetup.com/hikewalktothebar/events/311606176/)** the day before. Feel free to join!

**THE HIKE.**
There's so much to write - but I won't. You have to see it with your own eyes. **Manly Wharf to Spit Bridge.** **East Manly Cove Beach.** **West Manly Cove Beach, Manly Pavilion, Forty Baskets Beach, Reef Beach** which spills into a diverse bush walk in **Sydney Harbour** **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. Keen for a swim? Cool. 20minutes here. After Chinaman’s, we’ll neighbourhood / bush walk down to **Balmoral Beach** – another delightful Sydney spot.

**THE TRANSPORT.**
a) **Manly ferries leave Circular Quay to Manly every 10-15minutes.** Please check your tavel apps - we’ll head off from **[Guzman y Gomez Manly](https://share.google/FXXwFTnCwpMMKvdEg) at 10am**. Arrive early! **Manly Markets** are lovely to check out.
b) From **Balmoral Beach** there are buses o'plenty up to Military Road and to the city.

**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. I'll arrange some food, drink somewhere - as that's what we do!
d) **Fitness matters.** There will be ups. Downs. 12kms. Nothing super technical / challenging, so our pace should be pretty good.
e) Bring mates, dates, etc...

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