Woy Woy to Tascott

(Random walkies)

Went off along Brisbane Water Drive today, along the water in the direction of Gosford. Last night I realised with a start the Woy Woy to Gosford Fun Run's on in a few weeks. And here's me behind in my training schedule.

Got passed by half a dozen runners, probably also training and there were a fair few other walkers stumping along. Been asking around and it looks like there'll be quite a crowd of walkers at the back of the Fun Run.

This barge seems to be connected with the oyster and mussel farms, though I've only seen smaller boats used to pick up the racks from the water.

Saw something like these barriers on a re-run of The New Inventors a few weeks ago. I wonder if this is them. These ones are on the Woy Woy end of Brisbane Water Drive where a new bit of the cycle path just went in.

This wee fella is a former possum. Possibly he fell from the powerlines overhead during on of those storms the other night. He's not very big, as you can see from the relative size of the grass. He's perhaps twice the size of a rat and by no means the smallest Australian possum.

When I got to Tascott I stopped and looked back all the way I'd come, from Woy Woy to across the road from Tascott station where this photo was taken. 4 kilometres (2.49 miles) and a third of the way along the Woy Woy to Gosford Fun Run route.

The squarish hill on the left is Blackwall Mountain in Woy Woy. The Fun Run leaves from Woy Woy and finishes in Gosford. It's 12 kays (7.46 miles) and it's on sometime next month. Better keep on track with my training schedule.
