Monday’s walk - 26 October 2026

Some local possibilities

We will stay local as the Strong Wind Warning in place for Monday suggests driving may become difficult.

There are several options that minimise our exposure to the wind, and  they are of varying lengths - which hopefully means we can dodge the rain if it eventuates. At the moment Option 1 is:

1) Investigate the fishing access points below Kanes Reserve and off Maori Point Rd

Meet at the waterfront carpark opposite McDougall Street for a 9.30 am departure. 

Please bring $5 to contribute to travel costs.

Monday walk 19th October

Meet at Camphill Rd bridge 9.40am.

We will cross the bridge and walk up the true right of the Hawea river to the cafe for coffee/ lunch and return on the true left. 12 kms. 

The new track is new and in good condition except for a couple of metres where it appears to have a spring.
