At the end of 2018, six city councils along with other agencies, decided to create a coastal and harbour-side walking track between two famous beaches in Sydney, Bondi Beach and Manly Beach. The result of this collaboration is the epic 80km Bondi to Manly Walk. The details can be found on www.bonditomanly.com or the B2M app. We will walk the Bondi to Manly Walk in seven stages together, walking one stage at a time on the first Tuesday of the month from June to December.

In December, we will do the seventh (and final!)  leg of Bondi to Manly Walk from Manly Wharf to Manly Beach via North Head Sanctuary. The walk is approximately 10km with an elevation gain of 240m. The walk will take around 3 hours to complete.

From Manly Wharf, we will walk up past many small coves and beaches, to the historic Quarantine Station at North Head, where North Head Sanctuary, The Barracks, Memorial Walk and Gun Emplacement Tunnels are located.

Following on from North Head, we will reach the quaint Shelly Beach, renowned for its small shells which make up a large portion of the sand. From here, it’s a short walk to the finish, passing Fairy Bower Seawater Pool and Manly Surf Life Saving Club, and eventually ending at Manly Beach. (Excerpts from www.bonditomanly.com)

More details will be sent to members who are participating closer to the event date.
