Sydney Bridge Climb

Monday 7 Jan

Arrived at the bridge to meet up with Cyril & Rosemary to climb the bridge!.Not sure what to expect, saw all the signed photos of various celebs that have done it - must be easy.Started with a lot of prep about safety and the various devices that we take up to connect to the safety wire that runs all along the climb.Stop on the way up for different views etc and photos by the tour guide.Fantastic feeling as you ascend the arch and reach the top, great views, breeze, superb.Takes about 3 hours from start to finish, could be a bit shorter.It was quite easy and a good money earner for the bloke who runs it, doing 1500 climbers a day at the moment.
Dinner tonight with 8 of us at a lovely restaurant terrace overlooking Chowder Bay.

All this activity Tricky you'll soon be fit enough for squash.
Bet the views where great across the harbour.
Weather here still rubbish pouring down but its supposed to improve tomorrow in time for the football.
Keep enjoying yourselves.

Best wishes J
