Hiking Trip
Well, where do I start?
Friday we met up at Central station, then traveled over on the ferry and started walking. We walked 8 kms on the first day and camped the night at the beach. It was a beautiful spot to camp. The army was practicing parachuting into the ocean, they had to wait there for a while, then boats would come and pick them up and take them to the shore. They had to carry their wet parachute (which aparently weighed 120kgs) along the beach and then wade/swim through a lagoon and then crawl up the bank. We couldn't see that much, because it was at night, but they had glow sticks which made it look quite funny!
The next day we set off again, and walked 15kms. I nearly died! With my knee being the way it is, and my ankle wasn't all that happy either.... But Clinton looked after me *grins*. No, he was a true gentleman and looked after me the entire way. The last bit was rather hilly and my knees weren't that happy.
But, i am glad that i went. I had a good time, sore knees/ankle and all! If you want the long version, ask Clinton or Braden.
*EDIT*
I have found a map of where we walked, it's not to scale but you can get the idea then. We went from Bundeena to Wattamolla, then Wattamolla to Otford.

He indeed was just that. :o)
No, i don't think anyone took a camera as there was the chance that it was going to rain. I can walk again! Some muscles are still a bit sore, but i can move again!
