Report
Shady, CJ and Ramos turned down Glendale Rd, intending to drive out to the Western Fire Trail and if possible drive down that to get as close to Half Moon Bay as possible before walking the rest of the way. However they were shortly stopped by a gate preventing access to the Muogamarra Nature Resreve, where they were surprised to meet Kate. Kate informed them that she had arrived at the gate slightly earlier, and had continued along Glendale Rd until she met a National Parks Ranger who was walking along the Rd with his family. The Ranger told Kate that she was in a restricted area and that he would normally fine people for being there, however due to her friendly nature he just suggested that she could bushwalk along the nearby Great North Walk instead, or could try calling to get a permit to walk along the road. CJ tried calling, however the office was already closed.
After consulting some maps Kate, Shady, CJ and Ramos decided they might be able to reach Half Moon Bay by heading West along the Great North Walk until reaching the creek that feeds into Joe Crafts Bay. They would then head down the creek to the bay, where they would follow the shoreline round to Half Moon Bay. They headed off along the track, admiring the bushland and the views as they descended into the valley. After reaching the creek and checking the distance they would be required to walk along the creek and the shoreline, and observing the thick bush they would be walking through, they decided it would simply not be possible to make it to the hash point.
The four rested at the crossing, enjoying some drinks and lollies and playing a few games of twister. They then headed back up the track out of the valley as the sun was beginning to set, and headed home.
