Monday's Walk - 1st August 2022

Albert Town New Castle Track

Meet at 9.30am at the waterfront car park opposite McDougall Street.
Then drive to Albert Town on the State highway.
At the Albert Town shops turn left into Alison Ave and drive to the end tuning right into car park.
Albert Towners can meet us there.

We will walk to the bridge and then up to swing bridge over the Hawea River.
Followed by a stroll through the Butterfield wetlands ending up on the banks of the Clutha river.
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 for lunch.
Return much the same way.
Great views. Some "off" track walking so wear sturdy foot wear.
Approximately 12K and 4 hours walking time.
Leader: Robyn Matheson

Monday's Walk - 11 July 2022

Weather forecast is for very cold and partly cloudy conditions so come well dressed. We will park at the Hawea Campground and then walk along the Hawea River track to the Camphill Road Bridge for lunch. Return along the same track with a stop at Hawea for coffee. The track has an easy grade and a gravel surface.

Monday's Walk - 4 July 2022

Destination Colquhouns Beach. Start at Homestead Bay West Wanaka with a 7km walk along a well-formed undulating track to Colquhouns Beach. Track crosses a couple of small streams and is likely to be a little muddy but not excessively slippery. We will find a suitable place for lunch stopping short of the beach because the last section is very boggy. Return along the same track.
