Aaaaaaaafternoon delight
This session was our first afternoon/night walk starting at Berowra then arriving at Apple Tree in darkness and finishing at Ku-Ring-Gai. The main lesson I learnt during this session was that a poor headlamp = wet feet and stubbed toes, so a trip to the outdoor shop is in order for me I think.
Our arrival at Apple Tree Bay on a high tide during a full moon meant that the short boardwalk section was partially flooded, requiring a stop to take shoes off for a refreshing wade in chilly shin-high water before another stop to try and dry off as thoroughly as possible, get the shoes and socks back on, then continue on our way.
Thanks to Tony P for his trail finding ability in the darkness and also for his nocturnal wildlife spotting prowess.
