Convenor’s Comment

Last Weeks Walks

Hi everyone - as Russell is still away I am again acting in a temporary capacity as Convenor.  Last week we enjoyed walks around Tawa with some modification to two of them owing to wet conditions remaining on one part of the track as a result of the last weekend's rain storm.  68 Walkers went out on Wednesday with 14 Fast Footers, 34 Steady Steppers and 20 Pleasure Pacers.   We were pleased to welcome one new walker - Angie Kent. Four Thursday night walkers went up Mt Kaukau  and 14 Friday walkers took a trip up to the Belmont Trig.

Wednesday 23rd February 2022
General

All three walks are set in Petone and are walks from last year.  Like last week all walks are basically flat and either on good quality tracks or footpaths.    

PP’s: A 5.47km loop heading out up the golf course stop bank and then back through some of the Petone Suburbs.  You can view the walk here.

SS’s: A 7.35km loop that is up the left bank of the Hutt River, across the Ewen Bridge and then back down the right bank.  All good tracks.  You can view the walk here.

FF’s: A 8.40km loop that heads up the right bank of the Hutt River and then into Alicetown, over the Ewen Bridge and back via the left bank.  You can view the walk here.

Parking

Parking for all three groups is in Marine Parade.  Please park nearer to the Hutt River end of the street.  There should be plenty of parking.  ( Head along The Esplanade.  Then The Esplanade becomes Waione Street.  Continue on and then turn right into Kirkcaldy Street.  There is a turning lane for this turn;  and then turn left into Marine Parade.  The Gull Petrol Station is on the corner of Waione and Kirkcaldy Streets.)

Coffee

We have told Columbus Coffee in Petone’s Mitre 10 Mega that we will be coming for coffee.  They generally cope with our numbers quite well.

Cancellation

If required will be by email at 8:00am.

Enjoy your walks.

Koha

Remember that if you rely on others for your transport most weeks then a small $2 payment for a nearby walk and a $4 payment for a longer walk would help to lessen the costs a little for those providing the transport.

Laugh

What do you call a pig with laryngitis? Disgruntled.
