Caught Up With An Old High School Mate

On Friday, Craig and I did the Townleys Road loop of 13 km taking about 2hrs 15 mins. We Parked our cars at the Kaikorai Valley College Gymnasium. We headed south to Townley's Road until we came to the Mt Grand Road. It was very steep until we came to Dalzell Road. We turned left at Three Mile Hill Road, through Halfway Bush, Wakari until we came to Kaikorai Valley Road. A great workout.

I had planned to go to Christchurch but did not need to. I went to the Clubrooms for the walk. I ran into Warren Tweedie whom I was in the same class for four years. I had not seen him since 1969. We walked the route together and it was wondeful catching up.

The 10km walk saw us go down Emerson Road to Concord, onto Kaikorai Valley Road, Townleys Road (again) but instead of turning right onto Mt Grand Road, we turned left onto Reservoir Road. Did a loop around the reservoir and came back. Instead of Emerson Road we came up Stevenson Road.
