Intro to HIKING – Spit to Manly

Hello Adventurers!

So as an alternative to the Lithgow special Tilly and I are now running (well walking) the manly to spit, wooo! Meet at the spit bridge at 11am at the bus stop near the boat club. (there are lots of buses here from Wynard) just look for some crazy outdoors people in UNSWOC shirts. We will enjoy the lovely waterside views the whole way to Manly where we can celebrate our hard work with some well deserved icecream! From Manly we can transform into pirates and accost the ferry back to the city. If you are running late shoot me a message on 0450 228 081.

YOU WILL NEED:

• Sunscreen – Just because summer is over doesn’t mean the Australian sun is any less harsh. Make sure you bring lots of sunscreen and apply every few hours!
• Water – With the hot weather water is extremely important. Bring AT LEAST 2L of water.
• Lunch – You must provide your OWN lunch.
• Snacks – We’ll be doing a lot of exercise, so make sure you bring lots of snacks to keep your energy levels up! Bring things like nuts, fruit, dried fruit, lollies, biscuits, chocolate, muesli bars, etc.
• Appropriate clothes – Appropriate hiking shoes, Hat, light clothes (you will get hot!), a light raincoat or jumper if the weather forecast predicts a cold front. SWIMMERS!
• First Aid Kit – If you have one. Plenty of tape for blisters and Band-Aids.
