Website

When you open the website to view your walk have a quick look at the “Home Page”. This usually has a new picture each week generally showing a view from one of our walks.

Last Weeks Walks

It really was yet another wet week meaning that both Wednesday’s and Thursday’s walks were cancelled. However the rain stopped and the sky cleared in time for the Friday Walkers. However, it was still very windy for the 16 Friday Walkers who managed a circuit in the hills above Maungaraki. We have definitely given up on Evans Bay Walks until summer.

This Weeks Walks (Wednesday 10 August)

We are staying reasonably local this week with the three walks all within Tawa.

PP’s: A 4.43km loop taking in some of the Redwood streets and returning via part of Ara Tawa track and past the Bucket Tree. You can view the walk here.

SS’s: A 5.53km loop heading into Redwood and taking in a bit of bush and returning via the Tawa streets. This is a walk used last year. You can view the walk here.

FF’s: A 6.99km loop walk using footpaths and bush tracks. This is a reversal of a previous walk. You can view the walk here.

Parking

Parking for all three groups is within the Outlet City (DressSmart) carpark.

Coffee

This will be Gloria Jean’s Coffees Tawa which is situated at the eastern end of the Outlet City shops. We will warn them that a group of walkers will be coming.

Cancellation

If the walks are cancelled an email will be sent out as early as possible but definitely before 8:00am.

Happy August Walking

Koha

Every week we leave a note about Koha in the newsletter. We have no idea what private sharing arrangements are in place regarding getting rides but we trust that those who don’t regularly bring cars do make up for it in some small way, be it buying a coffee for the driver or by making some small cash donation.

Walk Schedules

You can look at the walk schedule for the rest of August here.

Photos

Below are some photos from last week. Walkers please try and take a photo of each group on walking days and email them to peter@jville.kiwi preferably small size (around 450kb).
