About
Greetings Everyone - the mid week winter series of short walks is underway for the second year. Join us this Wednesday as we trade the downtown bustle for sweeping ocean vistas.
🟢 Some words to Inspire you:
Starting at Meadowbank Train Station, we will follow the winding shared path to the green spaces of Tahapa Reserve East.
After passing the impressive Te Ara Ki Uta Ki Tai path we will traverse through the back streets of St Heliers before connecting with the spectacular coastal walk along Tāmaki Drive, taking in the sea breeze all the way to the historic Achilles Point lookout.
Finally, we will stroll back down the main street of St Heliers to relax and swap stories over delicious food and waterfront views at the St Heliers Bay Bistro.
When the night wraps up, getting home is completely effortless—simply hop on the frequent Tāmaki Link bus, which departs every 15 to 30 minutes to zip you straight back to Waitemata Transport Centre.
Duration: About 90 minutes including stops.
Distance: Approx 6 - 8km
Difficulty: 1.0 - 1.5 on our 1-5 scale for day hikes.
🟢 Meeting Places:
Meadowbank Train Station
St Heliers Bay Bistro, 387 Tamaki Drive, St Heliers
🟢 Time Guideline:
17:15 - Good Time to meet at the Train Station
17:30 - Introductions and start walking.
19:00 - Walk finishes (approx)
