Leader: Elizabeth Dooley

Five of us set off at 9.00 am in clear, cold conditions from The Glen. We decided we didn’t want to rock-hop along the beach and instead set off up Airlie Street, took the right hand track up the hill and made our way to the airstrip where we took a break. There was little wind and the views were magnificent. One of the party was struggling with the hill but recovered through the QEII section of the walk, which had lovely birdsong. Three of us walked on to Sentinel Hill for lunch and great views down over Cable Bay. We made our way back to the lookout and rejoined the other two before descending via the alternative track through pine forest, which had quite a lot of wind damage, and back to the beach and the cars by 2.30pm. Elizabeth Dooley was scribe, accompanied by Kelvin Drew, Lyn Boulton, Brenda Sinclair (a member) and Jill Drew (no relation to Kelvin).
