Nine of us (Sue and Rob, Helen and Mark, Judith, Denise, Sharyn, Delphine and Lyn) left car park in Kiwi Crescent Tawa for walk up through Spicer Forest – this was a lovely walk as it was quite a hot day. The track was uphill but very gradual. We did originally intend doing a loop walk back to Kiwi Crescent, but discovered the return on the loop track was populated by bike riders, although we didn’t come across too many. It was apparently not too well m arked either. We decided instead to carry on and do part of the Te Araroa Walkway which goes from Broken Hill Road down to Ohariu Valley. This was a lovely scenic walk under tree cover. We returned via same tracks. Lovely walk which was enjoyed by all. This walk was a new walk for our Club and will certainly be put on the track list again. Could even try it from Kenepuru end using The Doctor Track.
