Hypertension Medicine Coversyl

7 bridges walk

Sunday, October 31, we went with Cyril direction The Rocks to participate in the Seven Bridges Walk, a walk of 28kms for cancer, taking 7 different bridges in Sydney.

So we arrived around 30.08 in the village of Rocks, the starting point that we chose to begin the journey. Once registered and equipped with our band "Seven Bridges Walk - Cancer Council," we've withdrawn our participation booklet.


Little information on the progress of the works: this booklet was to be stamped at each bridge crossing and the village of rest along the walk. The goal for us was therefore to make the 28kms before 17 pm at night to have fully completed our book!


If you want to follow our route on the map is HERE.

We left the village of Rocks at 8:40 and we headed to our first bridge: Pyrmont Bridge over Darling Harbour. This restored version of the bridge in 1988 and allows the monorail to move over.


After crossing the Pyrmont Bridge and only 45 minutes walk, we befriended a French Olivier happened since then 1 month in Sydney. For the story Olivier doing this long walk alone, has recognized our backpack Quechua that we were French and we kindly addressed to hang out. With only two to make this march, we were delighted to meet with Cyril Olivier and share this day with him. Basically we wanted to do this march with Vincent, Charlotte, Denis ... but this day he was supposed to rain and it cooled down quite a bit of spirit. Fortunately for us, time was heavy and cloudy in the morning and bright sunshine in the afternoon.

Our second bridge crossing was of course the Anzac Bridge .
Very characteristic with its two towers, 128 cables and 120m high, the Anzac Bridge is the longest cable-stayed bridge in Australia.
