Unhurried Conversations - Sunday

Bring yourself, we will go over how Unhurried Conversations works.

🌊 Coastal Epic: The Unofficial 35km 'Bloody Long Walk' Challenge ~35KM

Join 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**!

Unhurried Conversations at the Pub

In an unhurried conversation, there is time to think differently and connect with people in a refreshing way. Unhurried isn't always slow. It offers a pace where people find it easy to join in and not feel crowded out. And listening can be as satisfying as talking. We use a simple meeting format to make this happen. https://www.unhurried.org/ This newly created event is at a new venue, the Keg & Bew Hotel at Surry Hills. We meet on the 2nd floor around 6:15pm. Food and drinks are available, before and after, on the ground floor and roof top.
