City to Surf 2013

Another year, another City-to-Surf. We’re told that this is the largest organised fun-run in the world with an estimated 85,000 participants. I should know – I’m number 88348 and possibly also in the high 80,000 finisher. As in previous years, Jeanne and I clock this walking the 14 km route in a whopping under 3… Read More ›

Homebush to Arncliffe

Information about the falls can be read at the Southern Highlands Website. The park is an hour and a half away via the M7 motorway from… Read More ›

After which, it was quite difficult to go back to bed although it was chilly 8 degree morning. I’ve… Read More ›

Not So Lilies Ride

It started as an idea to get the cycling group back into riding once again. That is to join a community organised ride called Ride to See the Lilies. Designed to ease in the others into riding once again. But Ivor though it might be too tamed for everyone, so he volunteered to map out… Read More ›

Manly Dam Circuit Hike

This is my second bush walk activity with the Macquarie Explorer Club. Although I have not met the other members before, there is that instant recognition and warm welcome when we met early this morning at the Tennis Court off the road where Roosevelt Avenue becomes Churchill Crescent in Allambie Heights. We waited a bit… Read More ›
