So much walking

I did alot of walking on the weekend.

On Saturday, Sam, Ka-shu and I went bushwalking on one of the many Ku-ring-gai Chase national park walking tracks. We went for the 'Murrua Track', a 3.5km walk starting from North Turramurra. Why? Because you can see the whole track on one page in the UBD :D It was a good walk, not totally flat and not fully steep either. At the 'end' (We had no idea since the UBD is a bit misleading on the whole track. In fact I just looked at the Sydway map and it shows everything, including the sidetracks we came across. So yeh, UBD sucks), you get a view of Foleys Bay jetty + some bridge. The only downside of the afternoon was getting totally drenched walking back. It started pouring when we were about 1km from our cars.

Sunday was of course the much hyped Habour Bridge 75th anniversary walk. I joined Eddy, his brother Ricky, Gordon, Vincy, Jo and two of her friends for the 5-5:30pm walking slot. But if memory serves me correct, it took us ages to do the walk, mainly waiting for Vincy to catch up :P Saw a couple of familiar faces during the walk - Charissa M from church and Sam from WSCCC. Couldn't really pinpoint any highlight to be honest. Maybe I was tired, maybe I can't appreciate bridges, or maybe the thought a Christian brother brought up after basketball on Thursday stuck in my head: Are we making an idol out of the bridge? Don't get me wrong, I think it was a good idea to open the bridge up for the walk. But when you see people stopping every 5m to take snaps of nearly everything they see or paying $10 for a piece of plastic (an inflatable harbour bridge) and put it on their head, one might ask: Why are people lauding some 75 year old steel infrastructure? The Bible puts it quite clearly that God, the creator of all things should be the one that is worthy of receiving glory, honour and praise (Revelations 4:11), not the created.
