This Week's Walks: Autumn has arrived. Walking continues. This week we are over to the neighbouring suburb of Khandallah. The walks start at Nairnville Park and take in the streets to the north-east. These are walks we have enjoyed in the past, but all three have been reversed from the way we last walked them. The walks are to start at 9:20am from the designated starting point.
The Walks:
PPs: A 3.97km loop walk on footpaths and accessways. You can see the walk here.
SSs: A 5.39km loop walk also on footpaths and accessways. You can see the walk here.
FFs : A 6.34km loop walk. This walk is similar to the SSs, but dives further down the hill. You can see the walk on Mapometer here and on Plotaroute here.
Parking: Parking is at Nairnville Park and surrounding streets; our normal parking for Khandallah walks.
Coffee: This is your own choice. If you can organise a small group of your fellow walkers, all the better. There are a couple of choices in Khandallah, several in J’ville and, of course, Thyme and Simmer back home.

Wednesday's walkers gathered in significant numbers to enjoy walks around Whitby. While the numbers were good - 60 in total - there must have been a bit of memory fade amongst the PPs and SSs as no photos were forthcoming from these groups.  The happiness of your editor is dependent upon you all sending in your photos...
Thank you to Gay Hoffman for your reliability in providing good photos of the FFs:

Our Thursday walkers are also always dependable when it comes to providing photos.  This week there are two photos provided by Gillian Mills and Hue Ng of the group walking around Tawa:

Friday's walkers were led by Clint Davis around Red Rocks on the south coast and up the hill; and up the hill; and up the hill; only to eventually come down again. Such is the essence of a Friday walk. As you will see from the photos, the weather was not exactly clear at the outset - perhaps "atmospheric" is the appropriate term! Photos are courtesy of Clint, Gay Hoffman and Keith Thomas:
