Be there or be square!

A big THANKYOU to Marnie & Bob for their “tried and true” run to The Boathouse, Patonga via Saddles at Mt White.

Being the professional run leaders they are, the newbies and regulars were suitably greeted at the start (with caps for the newbies), and walkie talkie recommendations at Berowra Waters. We ALL fit on the ferry crossing the river (a first for us in our 17 years as Members).

Saddles never disappoints with excellent coffee and the nicest Ladies restroom 

Suitably refreshed it was onto Patonga. The hazard reduction burn at nearby Empire Bay even gave us a wide berth, whilst we enjoyed our lunch and a few aperitifs.

Great drive, great planning and good job done. Thankyou.
