Meet at Green Bay Beach, end of Portage Road. There is no meeting at Glen Eden

Grade: Easy

Time:  3-5 hours

It is 10km form Green Bay to Onehunga walking around the coast. We will be walking as far as we can at low tide, preferably reaching Onehunga. Then walking back via the coastal walkway. There are a few ups and downs on the track.

Meet at Glen Eden at 8.30 or at the carpark next to the Kumeu Fire Station at 9.00.

Grade  Medium

Time: 4-5 hours

The walk is over a 900 acre farm with views to the east out to Auckland City and to the west to Muriwai and Bethells.  (Bring your binoculars).  The walk is slightly different to last year as the set of Lord of the Rings is based at the far end of the farm and there is security on site 24 hours a day.

Boots are recommended as there is a fair amount of mud, a hill to slither down in the bush and several streams to cross.  There are many stands of mature bush with lots of kiekie and supplejack (as I found on my recce).

Could people please donate $2.00 as a contribution towards a fuel voucher to give to the owners of the farm as a thank you.

Non-member please contact the leader if you wish to join us.

Then a short drive to another carpark and a 10 metre walk into the Piha Café.
