Monday's Walk 2nd February 2026

Destination: Weather dependent based on the likelihood of rain spilling east of the mountains as far as the Upper Clutha. Options include a loop walk from the Bannockburn gold fields car park to Bannockburn Arm and back If the rain seems likely to keep its distance; a more local walk if rain is possible; and a cafe walk if it's raining. 

Walk Leader: Martin Unwin

Monday's walk 26th Jan 2026

Roaring Meg track. Coming from Cromwell the car park is on the right at the sharp bend just before the Roaring Meg power station. The track soon joins a farm track up past the reservoir. Lunch will be near Skeleton Stream. Return the way we came (be careful to turn off the farm track) - hopefully before any rain arrives.
Petrol $10.
Leader: Brian Gilbert

Monday's walk 19th Jan 2026

Loop walk starting from the historic Shotover Bridge (Spencer Road). Assuming the river looks low enough we go upstream on the true left, over the Kimiakau Bridge to Tucker's Beach for lunch. We return on the true right.
Petrol $10

Monday's walk 12th Jan 2026

Starting from Glencoe Road we climb to Brackens Saddle, then turn right towards Crown Peak. The energetic will run ahead to the summit. Normal mortals will take time over their lunch and sit in the sun. Return the same way.
Petrol $10

Monday's walk 5th January 2026

Little Criffell Track starting from the Avalon car park (which is 2km beyond the Larches car park). You may want to have alternative footwear for crossing the Cardrona River. It will be a hot day so bring plenty of water. Starting from 420m we will have lunch when we get fed up of climbing up (say about 1000m, well short of the top at 1400m), then return back the way we came.
Petrol $5.
Leader: Brian Gilbert

Monday's walk 29 Dec 2025

Bungy Bridge to Arrowtown. Meet at the lake front as usual. We will drop a spare car in Whitechapel Road on the way and park at the bungy bridge. At Arrow Junction the drivers go off to collect the cars and bring them to Arrowtown (Ford Road); then can walk back along the track to meet the rest of the group.
Petrol $10.
Leader: Brian Gilbert

Monday's Walk 22 December 2025

Join me for the final walk of 2025. We will walk the Upper Clutha Track from Albert Town to at least the Stevenson Road Link. That is at about the 5.5 km point where we will find somewhere pleasant for lunch. 

We should be finished well before the rain arrives. 

Meet at the usual spot by the waterfront at the end of McDougall Street at 9:30.
