SHAKESPEAR REGIONAL PARK WITH A TWIST

  • Sunday 27th October
  • Time: 8:30 AM   (SHARP DEPARTURE! ) - NO BUS TODAY!!  MEET US THERE

  • Location:   Army Bay Beach carpark, 1468 Whangaparaoa Road, Army Bay, Auckland 0930 (first carpark on left)

We'll start very promptly at 8.30am to catch the low 2.6 metre low tide about 10.10am and we'll head along the stunning foreshore, with all the sea birds and amazing rock formations and geology and then up and over the headland tracks and returning via Waterfall Gully.  Bring your camera or camera phone for the views!   Including the stunning Pink Bay, you'll see why the name. 

Please note the foreshore will be slippery and uneven.    Expect to walk approximately 4.5 - 5 hours on uneven terrain.  
Please bring:  swimming gear, ample food and cold water and day pack.  

Comfortable trail running shoes or similar will be ideal, running shoes won't have enough grip.   Leather tramping boots aren't sea water friendly. 

If joining us for this event, as with all tramps, please ensure that all your gear, especially footwear is scrupulously clean before and cleaned after.  Please bring a clean change of footwear for the drive home, as we will be passing through Kauri'd areas, including a couple of particularly stunning tracks!

As it's starting to get warmer please ensure you have plenty of water.
