I enjoyed a very pleasant walk from Manly to The Spit that Brian Everingham led for the National Parks Association of NSW. In the party were Brian, Ken, John, Valerie, Anne, Allen, Gary, Hugh and myself.
We met at Circular Quay and travelled to Manly by ferry. We could not help noticing some ominous clouds over the Many area, but the radar revealed there was a storm just off the coast at Manly and it was heading north.
Once off the ferry, we stared walking along the coastal walking path. It was pleasant walking all the way to the Spit via Dobroyd Head and past Crater Cove.
We did the short side trip out to the small but interesting lighthouse at Grotto Point.
The to Clontarf for lunch, where we had a history lesson about the unsuccessful assassination attempt on the Duke of Edinburgh.
From Clontarf, it was a short walk to The Spit and a then a bus back to the city.
