Join us for a stunning coastal adventure where we’ll explore the North Head Circuit and the surrounding coastline. This route offers **spectacular ocean and harbour views, WWII history at North Fort, and local wildlife**. Depending on the weather and group pace, we will also navigate the “**secret wormhole” tunnel linking Manly to Freshwater,** followed by an optional extension towards Dee Why or a return to Manly for a late lunch. Due to the total distance (12–15 km) and a steady pace, good fitness is essential. **Before you RSVP, please read the details below:** * This event is hosted on **[TrekMeet](http://trekmeet.com/),** a free offline hiking app without ads, I built with and for this community, and would love your support if you could [please ](https://trekmeet.com/event/44f41258-f247-45b8-b111-30a30ff336b9?from=9xOdy7cJLyewPf1Nkak5XAkdmtI2)**[RSVP here,](https://trekmeet.com/event/44f41258-f247-45b8-b111-30a30ff336b9?from=9xOdy7cJLyewPf1Nkak5XAkdmtI2) i**t has offline trail route and event chat. You can also search TrekMeet and **[join OZ Outdoors](https://trekmeet.com/group/oz-outdoors?from=9xOdy7cJLyewPf1Nkak5XAkdmtI2),** **we're moving there in coming months.** * **Start:** 8:45 AM outside Manly Wharf. Meet at the Seashell Sculpture in front of The Felons Seafood restaurant. * **Difficulty:** Moderate–Hard due to the undulating terrain, stairs, some steep sections, and a steady pace of \~4 km/h with short breaks. * **Route:** Starting at Manly Wharf, we will complete the 11 km North Head Circuit. We will then head towards the "secret wormhole" tunnel. If the weather is pleasant, we will tackle the rocky path through the tunnel to Freshwater Beach, returning to Manly via the B2M path. On a hotter day, we will visit the wormhole and return to Manly via an easier path. We will finish at Manly, where you can catch the ferry back to the city or stick around for a swim and a well-earned late lunch! * **Gratuity:** A $5 gratuity is appreciated to cover organising costs. You can pay cash or via PayID at the event. **Important - Please Read:** * **What to Bring:** Wear proper hiking shoes, bring **ample hydration (1.5 litres, we have refills), enough snacks/lunch for the day,** sunscreen, hat, swimmers (if you decide to take a swim), and weather appropriate clothings, recommended to carry **basic first-aid and insect-repellent spray.** * **RSVP responsibly** – Treat it as a commitment; update or cancel 12–24 hrs before. * **Arrive early** – All route/gear info is in the description; hosts can’t field messages during the event. * **Stay together** – It's a volunteer-led community walk; keep the host in sight and let them know if you leave. * **Safety first** – **Your safety is your own responsibility**!
