The weather is looking good - so we shall do Brian's Mystery Walk. Brian & Marjon found it a couple of weeks ago - a loop starting in Glencoe Road. But on Monday we will start instead in Arrowtown - parking in Ford Street (on the right before getting into town) - cross the footbridge over the Arrow River and climb up Tobins Track. At the top we follow Glencoe Road for a kilometre before a stile leads to the Brackens Saddle Track (bring your camera).
Lunch will be in front of the fireplace of the homestead on Brackens Saddle, with beautiful views all around. Then it is all down hill (except for the bits that go up ) - we descend to and cross New Chum Gully, climb to the junction with the New Chum Gully Track overlooking Arrowtown, then down (beware the slippy mud) to meet Tobins Track and back to the cars.
Leader: Brian Gilbert

Meeting point
Google now charges to include a map, and their instructions on getting a free API_KEY are too gobbledegooglish for me to bother. The normal meeting place is the lake front near the showgrounds, Lat:-44.6990, Lng:169.1257.
