Beth's Weekly Update
Week One: Nowra to Cronulla
Wow, Wow, Wow!
Firstly I have to share how incredibly proud, and in awe I am, of my courageous, determined and brave girl who has not only cycled herself up SO MANY HILLS, she has also carried all our gear!
Each day has been an adventure with new coastlines, stunning views, scary roads, boggy marshy shoulders on roads, torrential rain, glorious sunshine, cycle and walk paths (thank you to each council for these!), nature trails, harbours, bridges with pedestrian paths (and one without🫨), amazing rock formations, two snake sightings, 'sorry we don't have your booking', closed National Park pathways, a boarding house, Plan B's, Plan C's...
Highlights: kind, generous and supportive folk; The Kiama Coastal Walk, Sandy Beach trail, magnificent blowhole and waves crashing against rocks with HUGE sprays, a Thai massage, Puckeys Nature Reserve, the Sea Cliff Bridge
Oh, and rubbing Numbat Cream into knees and feet each night (thanks Michael Carey!)
We are ready for the next leg!
Follow along with our walk!
Philip Joseph Humphries
In memory of Philip, whose birth and death dates are 14, and as this year marks the fourteenth anniversary of his death, we are aiming to raise $14,000 by walking 1400 kilometres. Phil loved teaching maths, so we are celebrating his love of numbers in this way. Beth will be walking the 1400 kilometres whilst Jo rides the 1400 kilometres AND carries all our clothes and supplies in panniers.
We've taken on a challenge to Do it for Heart!

Awesome effort raising money for a very worthy cause. Mr Humphries was my Grade 5 teacher. I then met his sister, Jacinta in Year 7. It took us awhile to put the connection together. The most embarrassing memory was when Jac & I were watching Puberty Blues on VHS and Phil came home and busted us. I have fond memories of Phil.
