Monday's walk - 4th Sept

Up the true right of the Matukituki River from the West Wanaka bridge.
Sunshine has been ordered for lunchtime, so we will find a comfy spot to sun bathe before returning the same way.
Leader: Brian Gilbert

Lack of Leaders for September Walks

This month has not been covered by a trip leader.

Brian Gilbert has offered to do the first Monday (4th Sept)…thanks Brian.

So we are looking for anyone who can cover just one week at a time or more if possible. Please email me if you can fill the gap. There are many people who want to walk and if that is you perhaps you could also volunteer to lead the walk!

I will be away from the 12th so please be in touch before then so we can set this up. janempw@gmail.com

Also we have no leaders for November or December so if you are willing to fill those gaps or can do a week or two then please put your hand up and let me know. Thank you.

Jane Hudson.

Mondays Walk- 28th August 2017

Weather tomorrow is cloudy with a few showers. Light winds. Mild temp.Cloudy with a few showers. Light winds.

Upper Clutha River Track from Albert Town to Luggate Hotel. (15.5 kms)

Start at Kinnibeg Street car park in Albert Town and walk along Upper Clutha River Track to the end where we will walk up Church Road to the Main Road and the Pub.

 

I shall leave my car at the pub and will take 4 drivers to get their cars while friends and partners wait in the pub.

If the weather is not good then we shall just walk for a short way along the track before returning then same way. Those who don't want to walk the whole way can do this too.

Fwd: Monday's Walk - 21st August 2015

Weather tomorrow: Cloudy with morning drizzle, becoming fine afternoon. Low cloud returning evening. Southerlies dying out afternoon. (9 deg max)

 In view of the weather forecast we will keep it shortish.

Hawea and Newcastle tracks- 12.5 Kms.  Many other places will be muddy and slippery so I plan a relatively flat walk down Hawea Track from the Camphill Road car park. Then loop round the Newcastle track, stopping at the river side just over the  swing bridge at Albert Town (7.5Kms) for an early lunch. Return along Hawea River track to the car park.

If it turns out to be a nice day will consider a change of plan to Colquhouns Beach.

Monday's Walk- 14th August 2017

Deans Bank and Dublin Bay Track.

May be  a few morning showers then fine spells. We will go to Albert Town Camp site and park by the entrance to Deans Bank. First half of the Walk will be along the Deans Bank track. Unlikely to be many cyclists on a Monday but back marker will need to shout out if cyclists appear. The track is narrow in places. When we get to the Lake Outlet area we join the Dublin Bay track and walk further round the lake until we find somewhere for lunch. If we are feeling energetic we can walk to Dublin Bay. We return along the Dublin Bay Road/track to Albert Town. Distance between 12 and 15kms(all way to Dublin Bay Road),

Suggest boots as there will be plenty of mud.

Monday's Walk - 7th August 2017

​Lake Hawea Loop

The day should be OK with no rain. After today's rain all the tracks are going to be muddy so we will walk on flat well established paths. 

 Start at  the car park at Lake Hawea camp ground.  Walk around the base of the dam to the Hawea Albert Town track till we get to the Cemetery Road entrance. We walk down the track beside Cemetry Road to Muir Road past the new subdivisions. Walk to the lake front then turn right towards Gladstone and find somewhere on the lakefront for lunch. Retrace along waterfront back to the cars. The walk can be extended as far as we wish but will be about 12kms.
