Two weeks ago it was an appalling arachnid attack on Fred, this week's wildlife encounter was not quite as life threatening and possibly even therapeutic but just as unwanted with Andrew's donation of blood to scores of leeches.. After pausing briefly to peel them off his ankles and occasionally his chest, we'd be back on our way and still completed both stages in a pretty good time. This week was from checkpoint 5 at Ku-ring-gai Creative Arts High School via Apple Tree Bay in Bobbin Head and ending up at Berowra Community Centre which is checkpoint 7, a short walk away from the local bakery and their array of pastry bound goodies.
