Manly Beach (Short) Nite Hike. Drinks. Charity Event!

We love Manly Beach! The hikes. The food. The margaritas! And we sure love our female hikers in our group... sure, I can be a tad overprotective of the ladies at the pub when we get loose, but what about the women that need a bit more protection, shelter, and help?

Well, let's do something about it. Legend Hiker Emma refused $5 from each of us at her "We Hike... to the Pool Party" which we hiked, then she hosted. I wouldn't pocket that money, so we start with her $125... I've nudged it up to $200, so that's our donation starting point.

I'd read somewhere online the Northern Beaches Women's Shelter (located in Manly) had serious funding issues, so let's raise some cash for them - Mother's Day weekend is coming up, so it's an appropriate time to do something positive for women in need.

THE HIKE.
Let's meet at Felon's Manly from 530pm to 630pm... grab a drink ($10 pints and wines, along with $15 signature cocktails 'til 6pm), and we'll do a night beach walk over the hill to Harbord Hotel Freshwater (easy bus if you need to get back to Manly Wharf). Harbord Hotel / Bombies extends their Happy Hour to us all evening, and Google tells me it's $18 schnitzel nite. GREAT!

I've made a booking at Felon's Manly for 20 so we have an island to stand / sit. If you don't know me, I'll be in a white NY hat and light blue linen shirt - or message 0439 635 699.

All hikers... $10 cash only. Sure, throw in more if you fancy but no pressure (electronic donations can be made directly at https://nbws.org.au/ - please write "HIKE" in the description so we can tally our total).

30 hikers at this event raises $500!!! I'll throw this out there to Manly's Facebook community, and maybe we'll get more local hikers. We'll do a money count on the nite, and Friday I'll go to the bank so 100% of funds are deposited into the NBWS account.

More details coming... hope you're keen to join in! Oh, join WHATSAPP GROUP HERE. It's a requirement.

Friendly hug. MJ
