I had not hiked for well over a year, so I was look-ing for an easier walk to get started again. I went online and found out about the Three Capes Track in Tasmania. Bookings and information are on their website and it is managed by Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Services. A booking was available for one person in mid-April, so I quickly booked the walk. The link is - http://www.threecapestrack.com.au.

Ed was the leader of this classic walk in the Heath-cote National Park. Although we had eleven booked on, by the start of the walk we had seven meeting us at Waterfall Station at 9.36am. This included visitors Quang Ha and MyLinh and new members Leah and Daniel.

The Club's ninth annual 42.2km Marathon Walk re-turned to a Harbourside course this year. We walked from Manly to St Leonards, via most of the bays and headlands. There were a record eleven starters, and eight of them were still going strong towards the end. An undisciplined breakaway group took a shortcut to the finishing line, and thus clocked up a mere 41km and instant disqualification. So only four official finishers. Well done all to all though!
