Join us for a very scenic day exploring paths down to every beach, bar one between the Harbour Bridge and Pt Chevalier, taking in some foreshore tracks, bush tracks and a few local parks in the area.
There will be some slippery, uneven areas on the foreshore and track areas and we will achieve a reasonable amount of altitude going up and down the steep paths and steps to each beach. (Low tide is approximately 11.40am).
If we're lucky we should see a fair number of less common native birds, eg, Spoonbills as we did during pacing the tramp out.
For those that enjoy looking at stunning architecture along the way, there are plenty of gorgeous houses.
This tramp today is approximately 16km tramp and will take about 5 hours at a good walking speed. (There will be only one group today and we hope that everyone sees a new place they haven't before).
** For people joining us from the city side of the bridge, please contact organiser to find meeting point.
Please ensure you have plenty food & water, as we don't intend on stopping near any shops.
Trail runners or grippy running shoes with good socks will be fine. Tramping boots will be a bit heavy and no sea water friendly.
PLEASE ENSURE YOUR GEAR IS CLEAN BEFORE (footwear, poles, bags, anything that might come into contact with the ground) TO PROTECT THE KAURI AND OTHER SPECIES AND HAVE CLEAN FOOTWEAR ON THE BUS FOR AFTER THE TRAMP AND THOROUGHLY CLEAN YOUR GEAR WHEN YOU GET HOME!!!
