Perambulators Hike Dry Creek Loop

coffee or lunch afterward (place to be decided)

Sunday 20 July

9.15 meeting for 9.30 start

This perambulation will start at the Dry Creek Campsite - entrance off Haywards Hill near the quarry on the Lower Hutt side - please ask if you are not sure - Peter or Lou will be able to help. 

Dry Creek Loop is a well-formed and well-marked track easy to follow. The beginning is steep but once you have gained a bit of altitude the rest is up and down and very manageable. There are amazing views from the top and along the walk. The track is about 8km and should take us about 2 - 3 hours.

Bring a drink and snacks for a wee break at the top, good walking (hiking) shoes, jacket, poles (if you have them), hat and gloves. The weather can change so make sure you have enough clothes with you if it turns cold or wet.

At the end of the hike we will go to a Cafe (place to be decided) and have either  coffee or some lunch - or both!

Bring family and friends - all welcome. 

Register so we have an idea of who is coming - but it will be also OK for extras to turn up on the day.

Looking forward to this one - see you there.

Lou and Peter
