Walk no. 9: Dee Why Beach to Dee Why Head: 4 March 2012

Jenny at Headland Park, at the southern end of Dee Why Beach

After all the sand and surf of the last walk, this walk was a 'cliff topper' - suited Ryan fine - no sand in his crocs, no sun beating down relentlessly (in his opinion), and lots of steps to speed up and down - not so good for me.

We started at the south end of Dee Why beach and pretty much walked the cliff top from there to Dee Why Head. Photos above show how steep and close to the cliff edge we were, and photos below show how far down it was.......
Of course, it didn't faze Ryan.

Discovered that it's not a good idea to let Ryan out of my sight when travelling through trees, I looked away, (well, took a photo), looked back and he was gone, assumed that he'd taken off ahead of me so I took off in pursuit - a long.............. 10 to 15 minutes later, I HEARD Ryan calling from where I'd last left him (stupid me) (and thanks goodness he has such a good set of lungs!). His response, once he/we'd calmed down was to tell me that I should bring other people walking with me, not him (and managed to make me feel pretty irresponsible!)

Ryan at yet another sea pool, this one is just south of Dee Why Head (and I think that that's Manley in the background)

After that we had a peaceful walk back to the bus stop along Curl Curl Lagoon, and managed to find an ice-cream shop along to way to calm our nerves.


What I learned from this walk?? I should put a tracking device in Ryan's bag!
