Bumble Hill Epic Saturday 9 January – 5 am – pickup point to be negotiated

Been meaning to tick this one off for a while. Seems to be the right time for me now.

Its going to be about 280 km with over 4000m of climbing

Middies+

Route is M’ville to Palm Beach via Awaba, Allambie and Powderworks. Breakfast at Palm Beach. Should have time for a relaxed meal before the 9 am Ferry.

Ferry from Palmie to Ettalong

Ettalong to Wisemans Ferry via Yarramalong Valley, Bumble Hill, Central Mangrove, Spencer, Gunderman etc

Wisemans Ferry to M’ville via Galston Gorge and Bobbin Head.

Once we leave Wyong it is isolated (but with mobile reception for all of it) with no bail out points till Hornsby. You need to be self-sufficient and confident you can do the distance.

Let me know if you are coming – otherwise I will leave straight from home

Indicative route(s) here

5. Not likely to be earlier (unless you trim the return route). Could be later. What keeps it late is the 9 o'clock ferry as a fixed point in time. I'm not going to hustle to make the 7:30 ferry.
