Eighteen walkers gathered on this Sunday morning for the first club walk for the year.
Starting from the South Durras boat ramp, our course took us south via a little-used inland track featuring tall grasses and the characteristic towering Spotted Gums.
The group emerged at the Coast Road near Richmond Beach, then descended to our morning tea location at the south end of Myrtle Beach.
A large swell was creating a spectacular seascape and made for and interesting and wet crossing of the rock shelf which divides the beach. Swimming plans were put on hold for a more sheltered location.
Climbing the steps, we enjoyed the familiar beauty of the coastal forest as well as great views over Dark and Emily Miller beaches. It was then on to Wasp Head and back to the cars before a picnic lunch and a swim for some on Mill Beach.
This relaxed, nine kilometre stroll was an excellent “loosener” to clear away the Christmas cobwebs and gear up for some of the more demanding walks coming up in this quarter’s program.
