comments:
An extremely challenging, highly technical cliff run. A combination of flax, gorse, and long grass as well as hidden uneven surfaces, make sections of this track very frustrating to run. The trail veers and slopes towards a steep drop on occasion and is suffering from erosion. And of course there's the stunning view to tempt your eyes from the track, which may have consequences. Out and back - its a long run! There is a steep ascent from Bethells Beach to the ridge line and up to Constable Road, with undulating ground in-between, traversing headlands and bays. Just stunning! |
