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.
