Our 10th Anniversary Dinner

The Anniversary dinner was held at the Pines on Saturday evening with a good turnout of walkers attending.  The evening included some reflections from each of the past convenors and the cutting of our anniversary cake.

Last Weeks Walks

Last week the weather curtailed all our Wednesday walks, however on Thursday evening five walkers went around Khandallah.  Friday saw 15 walkers journey up to Otaki for their Friday walk along the Otaki River.

Reminder

Please ensure that you inform your group’s leader if you leave a walk partway through.

This Weeks Walks (Wednesday 2 August)

Last weeks walks were cancelled so we are going to repeat these walks.  Therefore Pukerua Bay is again the base for our walks this coming Wednesday.  These are all old walks from 2018 and repeated one other time a couple of years ago.  They all include a short section of the beach.  The tides have been checked and an assessment will need to be made visually as to the suitability of the northern part of the beach which is part of the FF’s walk.The other walks should be fine.   (One of the simple houses you can spot on the beach front was the subject of an episode of Grand Designs.)

PP’s: A  4.58km loop walk that is on tracks, footpaths and a short stretch of beach.  There are some steps down to the beach and a few back up.  You can see the walk here.

SS’s: A 5.86km loop walk  that is also on tracks, footpaths and a short stretch of beach.  There are also some steps up from the beach.  You can see the walk here.

FF’s: A 6.66km loop walk which includes a there and back leg to take in an excellent view point. One leg of this is uphill of course.   You can see the walk here.

 Parking

Parking for all three groups is in Rawhiti Road in the area opposite the school.  Once you have entered Pukerua Bay turn left at the first oppurtunity (Teihana Road West) and the right into Rawhiti Road.

Coffee

We have told the Café in Palmers Plimmerton that a good size group of us will be arriving for coffee.

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.

Cancellation

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

Enjoy your walks.
Brian Vincent.
