Devonport @ Devonport Wharf

Tickets

Jun 1 @ 10:15 am

You may like to bus and take the Ferry from Auckland city. Ferries leave every half hour. (Please let the leader know if you are coming.)

Firstly, we will walk around Stanley Point then go thru Ngataringa Park, and Pollys Park to Narrow Neck Beach. Then we will climb up North Head and look thru the tunnels and enjoy the amazing views over the city. A little grunty climb up Mt Victoria and a short walk back to the Ferry Buildings and we are done. The walk will take approximately four/five hours including breaks.

Note: No Glen Eden meeting today & NO TRAINS operating.

Waiheke Island Northern Walk @ Matiatia Wharf

Tickets

Jun 8 @ 9:00 am

Matiatia, Owhanake, Oneroa

For those who wish to carpool from the Glen Eden Post Shop, please make your own arrangements.

Leader will already be on Waiheke so will meet trampers at Matiatia Wharf.

Please text or email the leader if you intend to come.

Recommend that walkers catch either the 9.00am Fullers Ferry OR the 9.15am Island Direct Ferry from Auckland City to Waiheke.

This walk enables you to take in as much of the island as possible without venturing too far from the ferry and Oneroa Village. The walk is advertised as 9km but these days is a little less, thanks to erosion and slips requiring some detours.

Expect 2-3 hours of walking.

All going well we will be in good time to get the 2pm Fullers boat back to the city.

Overnight Mid Winter Christmas @ Waitakere Hut

Tickets

Jun 14 – Jun 15 all-day

The plan is to stay at one of the Waitakere Huts off the Anawhata Road (beginning of Cutty Grass Track). Arrival on Saturday afternoon for evening Christmas meal, stay over night, and do a hike the next day. The choice of hut may dictate the nature of the meal and its preparation. Both huts are limited to sleeping about 20 people (we would be at one or the other, they are close-ish, but not side by side). Cost depends on which hut used and how many take up the opportunity, but will be $10- $30 per bunk plus a food contribution. We have held the event previously and is a fun event.

Pakuranga to Misick Point

Tickets

Jun 22 @ 9:45 am

There are 2 options today.

Option 1: Cyclists:

Meet at the end of Kerswill Place, Pakuranga at 9.45 to leave at the latest by 10.00. There are no toilets here, but there are some about 20 minutes away. There are lots of informative signs along the route. We will be on the Rotary Track most of the way to Half Moon Marina, some board walk to Little Bucklands Beach, Bucklands Beach and then up the steepest hill on the route to Musick Point. Watch out for flying golf balls.

Option 2: Walkers:

Get the 9.55 ferry from Downtown Auckland to Half Moon Bay Marina, arriving there at 10.33. Follow the same route as the cyclists to hopefully arrive at about the same time as the cyclists.

As it is the day after the shortest day, maybe we could have some special treats for lunch. Surprise us. Please contact the leader your intentions for the day – walking or cycling.

Ferries leave Half Moon Bay at 13.15 and 15.45pm or you could get a ride back with a cyclist.
