Sunday 30th October - Manly to Spit to Manly

CONFIRMING 6.30am sharp Sunday 30th October - Manly to Spit to Manly 20kms (approx 3hrs)

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

Weather
The prediction is partly cloudy with isolated showers.

Other Info.
If you don't have the time to do the full loop walk you are welcome to join us for just the Manly to Spit leg. There are buses that can be caught near Spit Bridge to take you back to Manly (it takes about 10-15 minutes at the most), otherwise, we are walking back to Manly. This walk will be a good one for those who want to test out using walking poles - some women found them to be useful on the Hike last year for going up & down the mountain - Trudie will have two that can be borrowed on Sunday.

Please call Liesel 0404 884 856 or Trudie 0417 676 725 if you require more information regarding the training walks.

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.
