CENTRAL COAST - 1 TO 7 JANUARY 2022

 1 JANUARY 2022

An early surf check. The winds were NE and onshore.

A mountain bike ride at Bouddi National Park to the Strom Lookout. A short ride along a fun narrow track running over rock and dirt. A couple of drop offs, sloping track and steep rough sections. Great view at the end over Hardy’s Bay.

I had an afternoon swim at Ettalong and Jacinta had a walk.

2 JANUARY 2022

A hike at Rumbalara with Jacinta.

We drove in two cars and parked at the bottom and top car park. It was a great downhill walk with some uphill. The scenery changed a lot with ferns, forest, cliffs, huge overhangs and views over Brisbane Water. There were a number of cockatoos about screeching and flapping about.

3 JANUARY 2022

An early surf on rights and lefts at Wamberal Beach. There were only a few out and there were plenty of waves.

An afternoon hike with Jacinta at Katandra Reserve. It was very humid so we cut the hike a little short. we walked along Toomeys track then turned right and transverse along the track until it lead back to the reserve.

4 JANUARY 2022

A sunrise surf check. I surfed on the right just north of the big house. Good waves at the start but got to small towards the end of the session.

7 JANUARY

A mountain bike ride atf Rumbalara on the Mouat track. I spoke to a bike rider awhile back about the track and he said it was good. Well, my opinion was different. Not many flow sections, a lot of get off the bike obstacles and poorly signposted. I took a wrong track and a little later over the bars I went. All good but not a fun ride.
