Monday's Walk 10 July 2023

Meet at the usual place.

Walk will depend on what the weather gods serve up in the morning. Plan A is to go to the Meadery / Bumblebee Cafe 23 Clark Rd, opposite Pisa Moorings, climb up on to the terrace above Lake Dunstan then walk to the 45th parallel. From there we go down through the old gold workings to the Lowburn inlet. Lunch at the Lowburn Hall. Return along the side of the lake via Pisa Moorings to the cafe at the Meadery.

Plan B will depend on the weather but possibly the Motatapu track.
