+The editorial staff extend to all best wishes for Christmas and the New Year, may your pack be light, your gear waterproof and your volleys never slip. For the Sydney Bushwalker this year has been a good year and our thanks go to all our authors who have contributed to the magazine in 1987 (next month we'll have an index). Without a steady input of articles the magazine would become stilted and boring. No, it is not boring now, and shame on you for such disloyal thoughts. New authors are always welcomed and every effort will be made to make your debut in print as painless as possible.

 Our thanks and best wishes go to S.B.W. Printing, namely Fran Holland and Stan Madden for the 96,000 sheets of paper they printed in Alex's garage. Both Fran and Stan are standing down from their printing and new printers are eagerly sought.

+Finally thanks and best wishes go to S.B.W. Operations and S.B.W. Distribution. This is a large Gray area in the preparation of the magazine and involves collating, binding and posting. The team of many is led by Helen and George Gray, thanks team. A separate enterprise is S.B.W.

-HEALTH HINT.
+=====Health Hint.=====
-Now that summer is officially here it is wise to ponder on the risks and effects of heat exposure. Obviously prevention is better than cure so take it easy in the heat of the day, have a longer lunch break, drink more water, wear a hat which provides shade, reflects the sun and does not cook the head. You can always soak the hat in water to give extra cooling. When walking do so at a steady even pace and take enough breaks to "keep one's cool". Now for the cure. I note that my first aid book is the second edition, 1982 revised. Which should not be too out of date. For heat exhaustion the signs are - feels hot, suffers headaches, suffers giddiness and feels faint, suffers cramp and is pale and exhausted and sweats freely. The pulse and breathing are rapid. Treatment is simple - put in a cool place, sponge with cold water, give plenty of water to drink and apply ice packs to cramped muscles and stretch'. Heat stroke is a more serious condition as the heat regulatory mechanisms of the brain start to fail. Signs are headache, casualty is irritable, nauseated and vomiting, may faint and ceases to sweat. Treatment: Remove clothing, sprinkle with water, wrap in cold wet sheets and rub with ice. The above poses a few questions: for people who are normally irritable, how do you tell if they are not just normal? A good reason to change one's ways. And where do you get ice on a bushwalk? Joking aside, be careful, be prepared, look out for yourself and for your fellow walker. It's easier to walk out than carry or be carried out.
-And get a current First Aid Book.

 EPIC OF THE MID-WEEK WALKERS.
-b'y Dot Butler.
+by Dot Butler.
 This was the programmed walk (9-10-11-12 November) - Wiseman's Ferry to Wondabyne, 70 km - Leader Alex Colley.
 Well, it started off all right, the party in two taxis from Turramurra. We arrived together at Wiseman's Ferry, paid off the drivers, and while Alex was working out how much each owed (5 into $81.00), the taxis departed and had disappeared from sight before Alex realised that he hadn't taken out his pack. (The good old days when you could expect the driver to
