AW Pyrmont / Anzac Bridge Loop Walk

[stubbsy]

With some fortuitous timing our next 2x2 outing is on Saturday 8th August and is part of our Anniversary Weekend. This 2x2 outing is another harbour walk, but we're skipping a leg (we'll do Drummoyne to Pyrmont later in the year).

This walk is a loop walk from Pyrmont Bay Wharf at Darling Harbour and around Jones Bay Wharf then across Anzac Bridge. From there we'll go past Rozelle and BlackWattle Bays, through the fish markets and back to Pyrmont Bay Wharf. Total distance is approximately 10 Km and it will take around 3 hours. We'll be starting at Pyrmont Bay Wharf at 9:15 am. If you plan to come from Circular Quay there is a ferry that leaves the Quay at 8:45 am and arrives at 9:10 am. We'll have lunch at the fish markets.

I would love to come...but I will most likely be working that Saturday...I'll keep you posted if I can make it! Sounds like fun!

[ATJ]

I'm interested, but with the AW Dinner on that night, I may choose that over the walk, if I can't do both. I'll decide closer to the day.

[Reschsmooth]

I may have to miss this one as Alex has his music class at DY on Saturday mornings.

[biggerry]

Count me in at this stage - I have no scheduled plans for that morning pending discussions with the petti-coat government!

[Glen]

Stubbsy, looks good to me. Like the map too, very easy to see the route

[surenj]

I am more hopeful for this than the AW dinner. Need to check my credit balance as well.

Count me as hopeful but not confirmed. PS: Stubbsy, just a suggestion for these walks. I hear that public transport costs are heaps cheaper on a Sunday [?is that true ]...something to think about.

[Matt. K]

10kms! Is there wheelchair access??
OK...count me in.

 AFAIK there is a lower price FOR FAMILIES on Sundays. The prices otherwise are the same both days.

The Family Funday Sunday ticket allows you to have a fun day out with the family. The ticket can only be purchased on Sundays and is a flat fare of $2.50 per person, with a minimum of one adult and one child related by family travelling together.

Hrmmm - have to remember that - good idea for the footy

Count me in for the walk Peter - I need some exercise (that should do me through to Christmas I reckon )

[biggerry]

thats the spirit!

[stubbsy]

I've updated the post at the top with numbers. As for the distance - it's about the same as the previous Harbour Walk which was 9.4 km.

[Mr Darcy]

Put pjs and me down as possibles too.
As usual though, we won't know about family commitments until a day or so before the walk.

[Nnnnsic]

Add me to the list. I could do with some images.

And the friends. They're good too.

[feldy]

Hi guys - I'm keen to come; see you all then!

[Alpha_7]

I'm hoping to come just depends on my availabiltly work wise. So I'm a maybe at this stage.

[sheepie]

Damn! Ran out of time to get a few other things done, so will have to miss the walk

Really sorry guys! See you at the dinner!

[ATJ]

Unless something goes wrong at the last minute, I'll be there on Saturday morning.

I'd love to have been there, but unfortunately have a shoot planned... and will be enjoying Beatles' music at the Opera House in the evening, so will miss the AW dinner...

[gstark]

... and will be enjoying Beatles' music at the Opera House in the evening,

Well, not quite. Shame on all three counts.

[dviv]

Thanks for organising it Stubbsy

It was a beautiful day and a very pleasant walk - sorry about having to run off so soon.

[Mr Darcy]

Thank you Stubbsy,
It was a great walk with good company.
Good to catch up & explore a different part of Sydney.

[ATJ]

Yeah, Peter, thanks again for organising. The scenery was good, the pace was easy and the company was great.

[biggerry]

thanks again for organising.

I can only agree, not only was it great excerise but also fun, for those not sure about coming next time or who have not yet attended one, let me assure you that they are worth it

[Elver]

I had a great time too. Looking forward to the next one.
It was great to meet you all and thanks for organising it.
