Hi,
Alan will take us for a tour out of Bentleigh heading in a clockwise loop of the Southern end of the CBD. We will swing past the outskirts of Brighton on the Elster Creel/Canal Path before carrying on past Elwood until we hit the Beach! From here we will head North on the Bay Trail up towards Port Melbourne. From here we will head North East on the Sandridge Rail Trail until the MYT through Southbank and follow the river until we get to Kanteen cafe at ~ 23Km where we will stop for a break. After the stop we will continue on to the Gardiners Creek Trail through Glen Iris and East Malvern before dropping through Murumbeena to pick up the Djerring trail into Caulfield, before heading back to Bentleigh on the Caulfeld-Frankston Rail Trail!
