Meet at 9.30 at the waterfront car park opposite McDougall Street.
Then drive to the Upper Clutha River Track Car Park, Albert Town off Kinnibeg Street.
We will walk round to the Albert Town bridge and thence by new tracks to the Swingbridge over the Hawea River.
We will ramble the Butterfield wetlands ending up on the banks of the Clutha.
Then up the hill following the cliff edge to the Newcastle Track.
At this point we drop down to the beehives on the river flat below,and out to the Clutha River edge for lunch.
Return much the same way.
Great views. Some "off" track walking and the forecast is for bitterly cold temperatures so please wear study foot wear and layers of warm clothing!
Approx 12 to 13 km and 4 hours walking time.
