Monday 14 September 2020

The weather forecast is looking blustery so a walk close to home is called for.  Walking from the Roys Bay carpark meeting spot along the lakeside track to the bottom of  Roy's Peak  then as far up that track until the lunch stop (probably a couple of hours to that point) then return. Coffee/beverage at Edgewater perhaps.
Depending on the conditions we can reassess in the course of the walk, ie. do we choose to go further or not so far?
Distance: up to 12 kms total (3-4 hrs)
Weather: Cloudy. Occasional rain developing in the afternoon. Gusty northwesterlies. There is a heavy rain warning overnight until midnight on Monday.  18C.

Leader: Paul Knox

Walk on Monday 7 September 2020

Meet as usual at the Lakefront at 0930.

We will travel to Kydd's Bush beside Lake Hawea.  From there we walk uphill on the Sawyer Burn track towards the Sawyer Burn hut.  DOC states the walk to the hut is 5 hrs return but 2hrs return to the bushline.  We will walk as far as we want to past the bushline where the views are described as superb before lunching and return.

The first part of the track is steep with zigs and zags but it's worth it. We will behave ourselves and keep an easy pace! This is a track and not a footpath so take sturdy footwear.

Coffee at Hawea afterwards.

Forecast:  Anticipate bright warm sunshine once above the bushline so take sunscreen!
