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.

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.
Ferry across to Kawau Island on the Saturday and stay overnight at Camp Bentzon. Once there activities could include walking, swimming (for the very brave), and little yachts, paddle boards and kayaks are available for use.
We will do a walk over the ridge and walk to the yacht club, visit the Mansion house and walk around the park and some walks on the water front.
The ferry from Sandspit is $85. Accommodation is $40 per night, per person.
Please register interest with Sandra Duke.
This is a Thursday to Monday trip.
