Meet at Onetangi Hall at 3.30pm (note slightly later time). We will take a leisurely climb up the valley through the mature bush of the Forest and Bird Reserve to Pohutukawa Ridge. Then it’s all downhill as we return via Bella Terrace with its magnificent gulf views and descend to the beach from Garrett Road. Finally, just to get the heart-rate up again, we will climb the steps to Waiheke Reserve and then return to the hall.
Meet at the Onetangi Hall at 3.30pm. Note that while every care is taken, these walks are at your own risk. All welcome.

Meet and park at the hall, walk up the road to the Roy Nelson gate, go along formed track to Pohutukawa Ridge, out at La Franchie gate, back to Belle Terrace and loop down, then along Waiheke Rd to Garrett, along Garrett and down the track to the beach, up First Ave, climb the stairs to the reserve above the hall and back across the reserve to the cars. Bit of a workout with all that climbing and no particular message but a variety of landscapes and terrain.
Whakanewha walk, Sunday 12 Oct 08
Sunday walks are on again
Now that daylight saving is here and the weather is picking up, the informal Sunday walks are beginning again. This week we are planning a loop trip at Whakanewha that will take in the Cascades, a walk along the beach and a return via Cathedral track. It’s a relatively easy walk but will take an hour and a half to two hours.
Meet at the entry to Whakanewha (park along Gordon’s Road before the park gates) at 3pm.
Note that while every care is taken, these walks are at your own risk. All welcome.
