#GDCFeet πΊοΈ The walk is 6 miles, and it usually takes us 5 or 6 hours to do it, so it is not strenuous! But please be advised the paths are uneven and can be slippery.
#GDCFeet π¨ππ Along the way we'll stop off at the Cliff House, Sutro Baths, and the Lands End Labyrinth.
#GDCFeet πΆπΆββοΈπΆββοΈ The plan is to walk from Ocean Beach to China Beach along the coastal trails, or as far as we can make it until you're too tired. (If you get tired and want to go home early, it's pretty easy to do so at almost any point in the afternoon, by bus or car-sharing service.)
ββββββββββ WARNING ββββββββββ
#GDCFeet There is NO COFFEE available en route, so get caffeinated before 11am!

#GDCFeet π Other things to bring: granola bars, sun hat, layered clothing (it might be windy, so think about a scarf and even gloves).
#GDCFeet βΌοΈIMPORTANT Things to bring: good shoes, water bottle, sunblock, snacks, $3 for the train ride (get a Clipper card to use on the SF MUNI in advance if you can).

#GDCFeet π We'll meet at Powell Street Station at 11am sharp, at the bottom of the escalators leading down from the cable car turntable. Look for us: Evan will have an accordion πͺ and I'm tall and talk in a loud voice with an English accent, and look like this:
#GDCFeet π The weather will be bright and coolβso bring sunblock and layered clothes! You can check the weather report for "Lands End - Golden Gate National Recreation Area" (CA 94121) and decide if the conditions seem right for you.

Our adventure will (optionally) include feeling the sand under our #GDCFeet, a labyrinth, and everyoneβs favorite: a mysterious and ancient sea cave.

#GDCFeet
A row of people on that concrete wall at China Beach, shot from behind
A wide-angle landscape at Land's End with the Golden Gate Bridge off in the distance
Mickael standing at Land's End, turning to face the camera with a big smile
Alexander and Evan at Powell Station at the beginning of GDCFeet, wearing similar leaf-brimmed hats, craning their arms around each other like a haunted Victorian sculpture
A few more #GDCFeet shots, but these are from my phone
Three people in front of greenery near the bay, facing the camera and smiling. One of them's reaching for his ear in a sort of bashful way.
Even and their accordion by the bay at Land's End. By the hair, you can tell it's quite windy.
A line of people looking over the concrete wall toward the bay at China Beach. There's a bit of light hitting the lens, so it's got that accidental vintage Polaroid look going on.
Some of those same people at China Beach, leaning over that concrete wall, shot from behind. The person in the center is facing to the side, looking super chill in sunglasses. There are blurry people on the sand in the distance. I mean they're probably solid beings, they're just out of focus.
A smattering of photographies from this year's #GDCFeet
Unedited, but I now realize that I never really edit the photos I post here
Our adventure begins! #GDCFeet is now departing Powell. A small group will hang behind for a later departure, otherwise DM me for location info!

#GDCFeet The walk is 6 miles, and it usually takes us about 5 hours to do it, so not strenuous! Be advised the paths are uneven and slippery, but not the worst part (Lands End Labyrinth) is optional.
#GDCFeet Along the way we'll stop off at the Cliff House, Sutro Baths, and we might also find out if the Lands End Labyrinth still exists.
#GDCFeet The plan is to walk from Ocean Beach to China Beach along the coastal trails.
#GDCFeet there are no shops along the way, so bring your own water, and light snacks, and get caffeinated beforehand if that's your thing.
#GDCFeet Other things to bring: granola bars or fruits, layered clothing, gloves, hats. Rain is not in the forecasts but it might get windy and cold by the sea.
