Nuthin’ Fancy don’t get out much these days, but a special cause that brings us out of hibernation this time each year is to support the Great Walk Foundation - a ‘colourful’ crew of Mountain/Penrith people who annually trek 170km from Bathurst to Blaxland to raise some serious coin for local charities.
So if you’re free & up for a little nonsense this Saturday night (25th May), come along to The Lapstone Hotel to support & welcome home the boys.
The ‘No Fo’ line for this year’s festivities should be a treat, featuring the return of the great Mark ‘Bommer’ Beamer on guitar and special guest Jesse Curnow on drums. 🎉🍾🍺🍸🎶 🐫

And so it begins. A few snaps from our first night on the Great Walk. 160km to go 😩😩 🏃🏽 🏃🏼♀️
Walking shoes are on!
This time next week we’ll be on our Great Walk. A bit of info on the foundation. There are NO operating or administration costs so all monies collected and donated are placed back into the community. Recipients over the past 11 years include the Children’s Ward at Nepean hospital where we have our own “Great Walk Foundation Ward”. Major fit outs to units operated by Westcare who house victims of domestic violence. 2 sailing boats for Sailability, 2 cars for great community transport, Penrith community kitchen, Katoomba Hospital, Lithgow hospital, and lots more. For further info head to www.greatwalkfoundation.

The best part of walking 170km’s for charities in much need is seeing exactly where the monies raised goes. A few of the walkers were present today to see first hand the fruits of our labour. Humidicribs for the kids ward at Nepean Hospital with the Great Walk now having our own room. THIS is worth every blister and ache and pain we endure on our journey. Our next voyage starts on the 22nd of May finishing at the Lapstone Hotel in Blaxland on the 26th. We’ll be based mainly out of the Knickerbocker pub in Bathurst then the Gardner’s Inn at Blackheath for the final 3 nights. Drop in and say Gday if you’re in the area.
Getting the Km’s in the legs. 21 today, 3 laps of the bridge to bridge around the wonderful Nepean River 🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽
