Glutton For Punishment - Christmas 2014 Plans

For Christmas break 2012 I spent the day getting washed out to sea up near Crowdy Head and took a nice long ride on the beach...

In 2013 I did a little snorkeling down near Jervis Bay and took a long enjoyable hike on the Beecroft peninsula before Christmas and just stayed in my hotel room for the day...
I just wasn't feeling like braving the highways and Sydney traffic.


The motorcycle thing was too expensive to repeat this year... It was fun, but not worth the end cost, especially after I had to shell out big $$$ to replace the ABS module on the BMW...
(Don't ask, very embarrassing.)

This year I'm going on a nice long Walkabout...
Royal National Park is just south of Sydney, and there is a network of hiking trails that run through the park. One in particular is referred to as the Coastal Track - 26km (16 miles) from Otford to Bundeena.

Now 16 miles is a nice long stroll...

16 miles over broken ground, clifftops and beaches is probably going to be a good challenge to complete in one day...

Sooo.....
If you don't hear from me by Boxing Day, send a search party.
