The learned gentlemen have assured us that the content will be both informative and amusing. Don’t miss out on this important event – book early! To mark this occasion, we have a new and improved menu with more choices. The cost has increased slightly to $25 a head and includes shared entrees, a selection of mains to choose (incl a vegetarian option), corkage (for byo wine only) and a little thank you for the staff. Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each. This is still outstanding value. Numbers are limited, so bookings are essential. To secure your spot please BOOK HERE NOW,
BOULDERDASH – Started on 27th October The Boulderdash has started and will run every day until the end of Summer. The start time is just before 6 am at Manly Surf Club, and the route goes from Manly to Queenscliff and back (3 km total). You should be back at the Club just in time for the 7 am Shelly swim. If you are intending to do the Boulderdash, can you please swim with the group at the correct starting time (random swims during the day do not count). The main aim of the Bold and Beautiful is to provide a fun group activity, so we request that the “regulars” please welcome any new swimmers who wish to try the Boulderdash for the first time. They will feel much more at ease if they are swimming as part of a group.

Great blog & pics, Shelly & Bootycampbuffman – especially the pic taken by Derek!!
Shelly, next week perhaps you can give us some tips on how to get your amazing figure! Did you have to go under the knife or was it just from half-hearted Bootycamp and relaxed swimming from Half-way? Is there hope for the rest of us ladies?

Funny blog Shelly capturing the morning beautifully! I know the BnB Adventure is corny but it’s aimed at Primary school children!
So YOU are Shelly Buffman! You sounded just like Storchy in blog comments yesterday! Hope your HEEL heals Richard 😊
Whale Beach B& B can offer continental breakfasts Buffman if you don’t mind it served at 4.30am!

But.. blog tarting behind my back with Ian. Tsk tsk. I was always expecting you would dump me for a younger model eventually. But Ian???

Great blog and beautiful conditions for the 7am swim which prevailed as shown in the pic#8 of the 6.30 crew.
Definitely worth the double lap with Chris, Peter and Martin.

Oh wow – actually made Swimmer of the Day at last!
40 bolderdash – not bad at all!!! Actually, would be more if a few out of season ones were counted.
It was hard working blog tarting for Ian…. thanks to Derek for coming to the rescue and grabbing the camera….of course Ian couldn’t resist the blog tart if he was in the pic:-)
Oh and Jon told me about how you were posing as you chatted:-))

Is the photographer, who shamelessly put a photo of my (pink) bum into the public domain, willing to share any income he might receive from the commercial use of the photo, with me ?

I really felt as happy as a piglet running around in wellies today during the swim! Love your blog and especially the sunrise photo Shelly.
Dreading taking the wetsuit off guys as I haven’t had time to wax me legs. I think it’s time to forget vanity and just come down anyway. See yous tomorrow!
