Eastbourne walk followed by picnic / bbq in Days Bay
This walk is scheduled for 8 March and being led by Nicole, details are as follows:
Valley Walk
We will start at the corner of Kowhai St and Muritai Rd at 9.30am and walk along to to the Muritai Park track. Then there is a good climb up to the ridge followed by a downhill to the beautiful valley floor, which we walk along following the small river. Then have another good hill climb back up to the ridge and down to Kowhai St where the cars are parked.
Poles and tramping boots are recommended to make the walk more enjoyable.
It takes us about 1.5 hours to walk so it will probably take 2-2.5 hours for the group. We recommend a reasonable level of hill fitness.
Picnic Lunch
Lunch is at our place from 12 onwards at 5 Tui Rd Days Bay. People are welcome to just join us for the picnic /BBQ. They can catch the ferry over if they like as we are about 500 metres from the Days Bay Wharf.
If people could bring a plate to share like we did at Phillipa's that would be great. We will provide the meat for the BBQ.
Children are welcome as we have the park and beach in walking distance. :)
FYI we do have roadworks around here as they are building the cycleway (due to finish in March/April). They should not be working on a Sunday but just to be sure I would encourage people to use google maps to check on the time it takes to get here.
