🌊 Coastal Epic: The Unofficial 35km 'Bloody Long Walk' Challenge ~35KM
Sat, Jul 18, 10:30 PMJoin us for a massive **35km coastal challenge over Eastern Beaches** as we take on our unofficial attempt of the scenic 'Bloody Long Walk' (Sydney East route). Originally hosted by the Mito Foundation each November, we are tackling this spectacular coastal track our own way. This is a demanding, long-distance trek requiring high fitness and endurance, but the world-class ocean views are worth every step. For reference on the official event route, you can check here: [https://www.bloodylongwalk.com.au/lp/sydney-east/](https://www.bloodylongwalk.com.au/lp/sydney-east/) **Before you RSVP, be sure to read the full description:** * **Difficulty** **and Terrain:** Hard (for highly fit, experienced hikers only). Expect a massive 35km distance requiring a steady pace. The terrain features a diverse mix of coastal boardwalks, beach walking (sand), paved streets, stairs, and multiple headland ascents. * **Start:** 8:30 AM sharp at Pioneers Park (off Anzac Pde, near the Hillary Pde bus stop). Please arrive a few minutes early. **Finish:** Circular Quay (followed by an optional, well-earned dinner for those who go the distance!). * **Route:** We will start at Pioneers Park and head down to Maroubra Beach, making our way north through Coogee and up to Bondi. From there, we join the famous coastal trail (which we recently completed from the opposite direction!), passing the stunning Diamond Bay and Hornby Lighthouse at Watsons Bay. We will then sweep through Rose Bay and past Mrs Macquarie's Chair before finally wrapping up at Circular Quay. * **Gratuity:** A $5 contribution is appreciated to help cover our Meetup subscription and group running costs. Carry Cash or ask for PayID. **Important - Please Read:** * **What to Bring:** Wear proper hiking shoes, bring **ample hydration (Minimum 1.5L of water- Refill available at stops), pack enough snacks/lunch,** sunscreen, hat, and weather protection\*\*.\*\* * **RSVP responsibly** – Treat it as a commitment; update or cancel 12–24 hrs before. * **Arrive early** – All route/gear info is in the description; hosts can’t field messages during the event. * **Stay together** – It's a volunteer-led community walk; keep the host in sight and let them know if you leave. * **Safety first** – **Your safety is your own responsibility**!

Volleyball. Sydney Park. ALL Levels. MUST RSVP. Beginners Welcome
Sun, Jul 12, 4:00 AM**Updated 01-SEP-25:** **PLEASE READ & UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING HERE OR ELSE YOU MAY MISS OUT ON PLAYING. ASK IF ANY QUESTIONS** Join us for an fun afternoon of outdoor fitness with volleyball, inclusive of ALL LEVELS, including First timers, Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced players. This event is perfect for volleyball enthusiasts who want to improve their volleyball skills while enjoying the beautiful outdoors. Whether you are an experienced player or just starting out, this training session is designed to help you improve your technique, stamina, and overall fitness. During the session, we will warm up with training drills and exercises. You'll have the opportunity to enhance your volleyball skills and work on your agility and speed before playing games, in both a fun social, mixed-level setting and a more competitive setting with fellow volleyball lovers. **What to expect:** **1st hour:** Setup courts, warm up and play. **2nd hour:** Mixed play, where each team has a mixture of playing levels (beginners to advanced). **3rd hour:** We will split players onto different courts, where one court will be for advanced play, and another for intermediate and beginners. Don't miss this chance to challenge yourself, meet new friends, and enjoy the thrill of playing volleyball in a stunning outdoor setting. Please make sure to bring your own water bottle and anything else you think you may need. **IMPORTANT DETAILS** 1. **Please RSVP and respect the "Going" and "Waitlist"** If you are not on the "Going" list, you may not be allowed to play. 2. **All skill levels are welcome.** 3. During mixed play (when we have advanced and beginners on the same court) **hard serving and spiking is not allowed!** 4. If you meetup name is not in English, this interferes with the organisation. I urge you to either a. write your name in English; b. add an English version to it; or c. when you RSVP, type your name in English. If you don't do this, you will be moved to the "Not Going" list. 5. Please know that there is no permanent net/court set up at the park. We set it up at the start of each event, so don't expect to see the court when you arrive. Just be at the meeting spot ready to help set-up. 6. If you are not **willing to help** set up and/or pack up the net, this group is not for you. **Suggested Donation to helps us with expenses:** * **Casual\* visitor** **(1st timer or return player):** $2 (CASH ONLY) * **Membership\* (optional):** $20 for 6 months (Cash or Bank) \*Student rate at 50% of above. You must bring your student card for proof and we will take a photo for our records and future bookings. * **No Spot** (e.g. No RSVP or on Waitlist): $5, if even allowed to play. * **Arriving late:** Let me know otherwise your spot may be given away. **Volleyball is a team sport** and as such, we need a team effort to carry the equipment from the carpark to the "spot" and then set-up. After the game, we need a team effort to pack up the equipment and to carry it back to the car. If you are not prepared to help, please do not join us. We only want team players, not selfish people. **Waitlists:** If your name is on the Waitlist, you do **NOT** have a spot. **A spot** **may become available to you up until midday** (even later) on the day of the event. Waitlists/allocated spots are now **discretionary** and not in order of response. This is to assist running the event as smoothly as possible for the organiser and the players & also to reward loyalty (members and regular players and those who turn up on time). **No-shows:** No shows are disrespectful towards the organiser and the other players (especially those on the waitlist) and will now be given 2 chances/warnings and banned on their 3rd "no-show". This includes yourself and any +1 guests you have reserved a spot for. To avoid a no-show, make sure you **update your RSVP before 9am** of the morning of the meetup (i.e. Sunday morning 9am). **This also applies to those on the Waitlist**. If you are on the waitlist, there is a chance you will be moved to the "Going" list, so if you will no longer attend, ensure you change your RSVP to "Not going" by 9am (day of event). **Questions:** If you have any questions, please ask. Note that the organiser(s) may be busy in the hours leading up to the event, so if you have any questions, please ask them early enough. Note that if your question has been addressed in this description and you simply have not bothered to read it, you may not get a response. And of course you won't know that if you haven't read this, but then who's fault is that? If this all makes sense and you agree, come join us for some good wholesome fun. See you at the park! **Location:** We play in the large flat open area opposite the Kiosk/Cafe (with toilets) and children's playground. These maps should help: * [Photo/map](https://www.meetup.com/volleyball-at-sydney-park/photos/33390251/512713637/) * [Google Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/8KHnSEGbQXHrHKnBA) By attending any of our events, you and your guests agree to our [Terms & Conditions](https://www.meetup.com/volleyball-at-sydney-park/photos/34863764/523484638/).
