Last Weeks Walks

Last week saw a typical mix of Wellington winter weather. The Wednesday walks were cancelled due to an icy downpour, on Thursday evening five people (plus 'Red') had a pleasant walk around the streets of Johnsonville and on Friday 15 walkers enjoyed sparkling weather walking in the hills above Eastbourne.

Reminder

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

This Weeks Walks (Wednesday 23 August)

Back to Whitby this week which usually means no traffic problems and easy parking.  The PP’s and SS’s walks are a repeat of 4 years ago and the FF’s have a new walk that revisits many familiar tracks and streets.

PP’s: A 5.34km loop walk that is on footpaths and some pedestrian walkways.  The walk is undulating and can be shortened on the fly if required by any walkers. You can see the walk here.

SS’s: A 7.02km loop walk that is also on footpaths and a few pedestrian walkways.   The walk includes some minor climbs but nothing too strenuous. You can see the walk here.

FF’s: An 8.15km loop walk on roads, footpaths, steps and pedestrian walkways.  Yes there is one decent climb. You can see the walk here.

Enjoy your walks

Parking

Parking for all three groups is in the Adventure Park carpark which is off Discovery Drive and opposite the Whitby Village Shops.  This is the same carpark we have used many times before.

Coffee

Coffee at Columbus Coffee in Mitre 10 Mega, Porirua.  We will tell that a number of us will be coming for coffee after our walks.

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.

Walk Schedules

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