The walk today is along the Lake Hawea shoreline, with great views, to the beach opposite Silver Island – (6 km, about 1 ½ - 2 hours one way). We drive from Wanaka via Campbell Rd to Gladstone, then via Timaru Creek Rd and Dingleburn Rd (gravel roads) to the car park (44km - about 1 hour). It is an easy walk on a 4WD road through tussock farmland and Kanuka bush, and under soaring rock faces to the beach near the Silver Burn. (There are sandflies there and at the car park)
The weather forecast is for high cloud and Nor-westerlies.
Leader: Chris Kjelgaard
