We will travel up Mountain Rd and head up to Mt Eden anti-clockwise to check out the repairs to the rim of crater and then make our way to One Tree Hill, before heading back down through the park to Market Rd. We will go up Mt St John Ave to climb the mountain.

We return through Newmarket  back to the cars in the Domain.

A mix of beach, hills, trees, wetlands and farmland. Bring your togs for a swim after the tramp. High tide is at 4pm.

YOU CANNOT WALK OVERSEAS BUT YOU CAN WALK IN NEW ZEALAND! Covid-19 has placed considerable limits on our ability to undertake walks overseas, but we have hundreds of wonderful walks within our own country.

Phillip O’Donnel will be talking to us about Footsteps Walking Club of Aotearoa/New Zealand. Footsteps offers the absolute best day-walks in 20 regions of New Zealand, with five regions in each of the North and South Islands scheduled per year. Many trips are consecutive and contiguous for those who may wish to undertake more than one. We cover the whole country in two years. Mark this event in your dairies as this will be an inspirational start to the New Year.

Meet at 8.30am in Glen Eden or at 9.15am at Karekare

Grade: Easy but with a lot of soft sand.

Time: 4-5 hours

This is always a wonderful tramp, one you never get tired of.  First a walk through large pohutukawa trees and then along the beach to the Pararaha Valley through an interesting coastal landscape.

Grade: Medium

Time:  5 to 6 hrs including breaks

We will start from Sullivan’s Bay Mahurangi West and take in some of the attractions of Mahurangi West Regional Park until the tide is low enough for us to cross the Te Muri Stream estuary to explore some of Te Muri Regional Park. Exact route to be confirmed at this stage but will include hills, beaches and possibly some coastal foreshore walking. Great views and good beaches to finish the day with a refreshing dip in the sea whatever the tide. Suggest taking a small towel to dry your feet after crossing the estuary if you wish to avoid wet boots from crossing with your boots on and of course your swim suit if you wish to cool off at the end of the walk.
