Man and Womanly

Vanessa and I both set some PBs today. I drove closer to the city and on more tolls roads than I've ever done in a single trip. Vanessa ran 10kms along the Manly coast and up into the hills at a cracking pace. Okay, obviously her achievement was a little more impressive.

Then I went and sat in a cafe with a large coffee and watched the sunrise until she got back.

Rounding the final bend... Hey, that's where I drank my coffee!

And she won (a medal!) And much pinkness. I was extremely proud, and she said I did a good job driving as well.

Too much for me summarise in a review. Instead, I thought I'd share a single takeaway and challenge from each of the sessions.

After nine days of driving, relaxing, hiking and driving some more today I reached what most certainly was the furthest point of the road trip. From Lower Beechmont I drove up the very long, extremely windy Lamington National Park Road to Green Mountains - an experience both twisty and magnificent.
