Saturday 17th September - Manly to Spit

CONFIRMING 6.30am sharp Saturday 17th September - Manly to Spit 10kms (approx 1.5hrs)

Meeting Point  
See you at 6.30am out the front of the Manly Aquarium, Manly Wharf

Weather
The prediction is sunny getting up to 26 degrees max. 

Getting back
Someone asked about walking back. It's not in the plan, but you might be able to get someone interested!  Otherwise, there's are buses that can be caught near Spit Bridge to take you back to Manly (it takes about 10-15 minutes at the most). You also might consider car pooling and if you can get up early enough, leave a car at The Spit.

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.
- Streets to park near the Aquarium include:
The Cresent, James St, George St, Upper Gilbert St, Eustace St
- Along West Esplanade - which is the road nearest the water as you drive towards the Aquarium from the Wharf - are some spots for 2 hrs free from 8.30am (some are only one hr though)
- There is a little car park above the Aquarium area, outside the entrance to Manly Pavilion Restaurant.
