Byron Bay Fun Run

24/25 October,

Mikey's and my first ever fun run/walk!

The fun run was held at Byron Bay around 2hrs drive south of Brisbane. Nick, Dionne, Rob, Phil and Michael and Maria arrived Saturday afternoon, we had hired a small cabin at Bryon Tourist Park for our overnight accommodation.

After walking around Byron for awhile Michael, Rob and Phil headed of to The Pass and the lighthouse to take some photos before catching up with the rest of the gang for dinner at the Bohemia restaurant. We all went to bed pretty early in the tiny bunk beds as we had to get up around 4:30am to get ready for the 5:45 am start.

The fun run/walk was in aid of the NSW Cancer Council, details at http://byronrun.com/.

The super fit people did the 10 Km run from the surf club to the light house and back via a 2km run alone the beach (Nick, Rob, Phil, Mark & Sue), while the sensible people (Michael, Dionne and Maria) did the 8km walk which followed the same course but skipped the beach section.

We really enjoyed the walk as it was nice and cool with little wind. At the lighhtouse we got to see dolphins and whales.
