Rod - That's why I changed the title of the post yesterday to say 23rd. It now says 23rd in the title, the start of the post and on the calendar page. So the good news is you'll be able to go. The bad news I can't :cry:

Whilst the weather forecast appears ok, what are the contingent plans if it rains?

If it is pouring (torrential) the walk will be off.
I will be turning up rain, hail or shine and if we choose not to do the walk we can go and find a nice cafe in Manly and chew the fat (as opposed to walking it off). I will leave it to people's own personal discression to attend or not, however I will re-iterate that we will be leaving for the walk at 11am SHARP..meeting at 10:50am outside Manly Oceanworld.
My mobile no. for anyone/everyone is 0412 752 250.

This is an individual decision based walk, no responsibility will be held for anyone or their equipment if they trip, fall, break an arm/leg/foot, get blisters, sunburnt or take terrible images etc etc.

We are all accountable for ourselves. Common sense must prevail.

Having said all that, I'm up to date with the latest CPR standards of Australia :)

PLEASE remember to wear comfy shoes, bring plenty of water, a hat, sunscreen, sunnies and again..a sense of fun and mateship!

It'll be a great walk!

We will hopefully get a beer/refreshment at Skiffies club at The Spit on arrival there. This overlooks middle harbour and if a nice day - is magic!!

Sorry guys - I cannot make it this time. Something else has come up.

Work has been really hectic and I haven't checked in for a while.

Hope you all have a great time and the weather is kind.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)
