Saturday 30th October - Manly to Spit to Manly (loop walk)

Please Note: Changes to timetable as of 25/10/10

CONFIRMING 6.30am sharp Saturday 30th October - Manly to Spit to Manly (loop walk) 20kms (approx 3.5hrs)
MEETING POINT  Front of Manly Pavilion, West Esplanade, Manly 2095 - above the  Manly Aquarium
PARKING OPTIONS 
All the residential areas are 2 hours free from 8am (so will have till 10am)
Anywhere on the left side of Sydney Rd as you descend down the hill into Manly (the big main road as you drive into Manly) is FREE weekends, so that's a good option and not far to walk to the aquarium. 


So streets to park near the aquarium include:
The Crescent
James St
George St
Upper Gilbert St
Eustace St

Also along West Esplanade - which is the road nearest the water as you drive towards the aquarium from the wharf - are some spots for 2 hours free from 8.30am (some are only one hour though)
And finally there is the little car park area above the aquarium area, outside the entrance to Manly Pavilion.

Other upcoming walks - ALL now departing 6.30am sharp (rain, hail or shine)
  • Sunday 7th November - Departing Humpty Dumpty Office with Adventure1000 - 20kms

    Hi Trudie,

    When did the route change for the 24th? I set my alarm wrong but almost went down to Kirribilli at 7:00am on Sunday. Did that walk go ahead in the rain to Manly and back at 6:30am?

    Regards, Joanne.

    Hi Joanne,

    The walk last Sunday 24th Oct. did go ahead in the rain from Kirribilli to Balmoral and we departed at 7am as was scheduled. The route for this weekend Saturday 30th Oct. has changed as it was decided by the ladies on last Sunday's walk that a loop walk is preferred - easier for parking, car pooling etc. The time has also changed to 6.30am as it is a longer walk - unless you want to stop at the Spit - therefore it lets everyone not take too much time out from their weekend commitments. The blog is to be used for checking the most up-to-date plans which we have tried not to change too much.

    Regards, Trudie
