Tamaki Makarau -Coast to Coast
The Coast to Coast is an approximate 20km urban hike across Auckland from the Manukau to Waitemata through landscapes shaped by 600 years of Maori occupation and volcanic history and through some of our finest heritage areas offering panoramic views from the tops of volcanic cones.
The walk is part of Te Araroa Trail and takes in One Tree Hill, Mt Eden and the Auckland Domain.
Hopefully spring flowers will be abundant in Cornwall Park.
Good trail or running shoes are fine. Day is about 5-6 hours, there will be some steep hills, although nothing over a 100 metre climb. Terrain may be also slippery, muddy and will be uneven in areas. As there are Kauri trees in the area, please ensure your gear is fully scrubbed and cleaned ready for the day and bring a change of footwear and bag for afterwards on the bus trip back, to help protect and prevent Kauri Dieback.
If we have two drivers, we will have two parties;
Party 1. dropped off at Auckland Viaduct and walking to Onehunga.
Party 2. Stay on the bus and start walking from Onehunga back to Auckland Viaduct.
If we have only one driver, we’ll all start at Onehunga.
