TERRIGAL HAVEN HIKE - 1 JANUARY 2017

 Yesterday, I had a small surf at Wamberal Beach. There were a few okay waves amongst a lot of short waves. Today, the surf was smaller. I had a quick surf at North Avoca Beach.

Jacinta and I went for a morning walk around Terrigal Haven.

It's a nice walk with spectacular views up and down the coast from a number of lookouts.

Well, it was the first day of the new year so I wore my brightest shirt. I did have a couple of ladies say that they loved the shirt. So that could mean that they wanted my shirt or that it looked good on me. I chose to believe the second reason :)

After the 1.42 km hike, we got coffee at 'The Cove'. Luckily, it was open. Jacinta sat on the beach sandstone tiered wall while I had a swim.

A nice start to the new year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

BOUDDI NP MTB - 21 DECEMBER 2016

This morning I had a ride at Bouddi National Park.

I biked along the tracks - Turkey, NW Ridge, unknown, Strom - it was quiet with a few surprises.

The first surprise was making it through all the rough of the turkey track at moderate speed without falling or portaging at the harder spots. A good feeling.

The second was a bike in a tree. Obviously, a Christmas decoration.

The next was a mum and daughter running team. They told me of their love for running the tracks on the Central Coast. They have a lot to do.

The final was an additional track off the Strom Trail. I did this before but it was sandy and not very good. the track was now firm and passed through and around thick ferns, grass trees and large boulders. A great ride.

Overall, it was a great 7.32 km fun ride.

Drenched in sweat, I drove to nearby Killcare Beach for a dip in the ocean. Nice.

Later in the early afternoon, we all went to lunch at The Cove at Terrigal Haven. The restaurant has a nice view over the ocean.

It was a nice lunch full of laughs.
