Eight walkers joined our easy walk around Narrabeen Lagoon. We started from the small reserve off Mactier Street. At Val and Dave’s suggestion, we went anticlockwise for a change, so after walking through Narrabeen and over the bridge, we walked through the reserves on the western side of the lagoon, mainly through sheoaks. There were plenty of birds including swans, and a lot of walkers / runners / cyclists. There was a snack break in Middle Creek Reserve, and we had a bite of lunch back where we started.

Thanks to everyone for a pleasant walk in good company.

Nine walkers joined in this easy walk that was posted late in the week. We walked along the river from Silverwater Bridge to Wentworth Point along the water (except for a detour around the light rail works). At Wentworth Point we stopped for a coffee before returning through the parklands and the Armoury precinct. Plenty of birds around the wetlands and in the sheoak forest. Seven of us had an early lunch in the park under the Silverwater Bridge. Thanks to everyone who participated at short notice.

After a very last minute shuffle the night before, due to a bushfire in Somersby all registered walkers agreed to a change of venue to do the Spit to Manly walk. We were very lucky with the weather in the low twenties and all walkers enjoyed this easy familiar walk around the harbour foreshore. There were no problems other than an excess of marathon runners and a small detour around some National Park’s works. Spring flowers were in evidence. We had morning tea at the lookout overlooking the heads and lunch in Manly followed by icecream before heading back by bus to our cars. Total distance walked approximately 10km. Thanks to all for a pleasant morning.
