Spit Bridge to Manly Scenic Walkway

Today I met up with Jules and we walked part of the Spit Bridge to Manly scenic walkway.

The walkway meanders around the harbour foreshore from the Spit Bridge via Dobroyd Head to Manly. The full length of the walkway is 10km and takes around 5 hours to complete however there are a number of connecting tracks which lead to beaches and lookouts, so you could easily make a whole day of it.

We walked 3km from Spit Bridge to the Grotto Point Light and back, which took around 3 hours.

You guessed it, Bruce was working again this weekend (his last apparently), so unfortunately he doesn't appear in this post!

Here is a location map:

If it were Summer, I'd be straight in that water!
