West end of Millennium track.
Christmas Shared lunch. Meet 9.30 at usual Lake front spot.
We'll drive to the Mt Aspiring Viewpoint carpark on Mt Aspiring Rd, Wanaka side of Glendhu Bay. Then walk to Damper bay and return to the cars (8-10 km) where we can collect our lunch and find a sheltered spot to share our repast. Something to share would be nice. Bring a chair if you don't want to be on the ground. The weather is looking good (16-20degrees) so you might want to bring togs and have a lake dip as well.
