Meet
at: Lion's Park (aka "Middle Beach" or "Dog Beach"), Pambula Beach -
follow Coraki Drive around past the Surf Club - first (only) turn on
your left. Park in parking area down near the water.
Time: 9:30 am
Grade: Easy
Description:
In 2011 we led a walk on the southern side of PB Rd - this year, the
northern side. Easy grades on tracks and beach (tide and weather
permitting) behind the dunes and past wetlands.
Distance: 10 km (ish) 11.69 km according to the iPad GPS Tracker (although Wayne's GPS said something different).
An eventful walk, we lost Ulli before we even had morning tea, then Ian disappeared looking for her. Lynne left early - clearly the walk was more difficult than she had anticipated :) We had many highlights: the Scout Camp; a couple of goannas; a couple of black snakes; the scenic delights of the sewage "lakes"; a kingfisher in the wetlands; a whale spout (well, it was exciting for anyone who hadn't seen an actual whale) and a bit of a climb to sort out the pack just before the descent to the Rivermouth Beach.
