Run back from Berowra Waters after sleeping under stars for the night. The other two guys were supposed to kayak for a couple of days but the kayak hirer advised against it as the wind was forecast to pick up a lot. They just got picked up and went home.
Got up to Berowra feeling ok and had a quick breakfast pie and Gatorade as I decided to keep going as long as possible and get picked up wherever. Retraced yesterday's route, got slowerer and slowerer until pulling the pin at Roseville bridge. Main physical casualty was pressure soreness in feet, mainly heels.

Hike from Manly to Berowra Waters with Simon and Keith. Manly Dam - Middle Harbour Track - Cascades Track - St Ives - Warrimoo Track - Bobbin Head - Berowra - Berowra Waters. Quite leisurely but the tracks are pretty tough in spots so we were all a bit tired at the end. Took about 11 hours but put down 5 here as the 'equivalent effort' time. Again very loud cicadas and lots of cicada 'rain'.

At Ourimbah with Ezy lazydave and steveo. Front brake was rubbing quite badly so went slow with lotsa stops to make sure no forest fires started. As a result I dropped off very quickly and just blundered around myself. Good fun tracks there. Cicada sound and cicada urination was of very high volume.

From Fairlight around North Head. Nice exploring tracks. Not many people around early on Boxing morning.

Run from Fairlight down to Fishermans beach and on to Forty Baskets Beach then return. Really quiet and lots of Xmas lights, nice holiday feel. No Achilles soreness which was a nice surprise.

From Fairlight up thru Manly Vale and a lap of Manly Dam. Awesomely humid. Tough towards the end, the hill up to the house is steep is buggery but I forced myself up it :)
