Middle Weekend of the July School Holidays

Saturday 12 July - Rugby Test tonight - NZ V South Africa

The day got away to a great start by having a hot drink with mate Lynn McConnell at the Mannequin. Lynn is in town working for "Sportal" to cover the test. We had a 2 hour catchup.

For the weekly club walk the Leith Club joined us. I walked with the fast pack (25 walkers) and Craig went with the slow pack (8 walkers) as he is still getting treatment for his leg injury. Our pack went down Playfair Street to the Caversham Reserve. We then went past Carisbrook, along Bridge Street onto a track beside the Motorway. We walked up the South Road and down to Concord. At Concord 5 of us went up Emerson Street while the remainder went up Mulford Street. The walk took 90 mins. We had a superb afternoon tea at the clubrooms. Craig commented the slow pack was too slow for him.

Sunday 13 July

Craig rang at 8am that he could not go for a walk with me as his car broke down last night and he had to go back into down to collect it. I decided to do the loop from home - Logan Park - Gardens - Mt Cargill Road - Upper Junction Road - Roseneath and back to St Leonards. This time I walked along Blanket Bay Road missing out a section of the Port Chalmers Road. The walk took 3 hrs 50 mins or 22-23 kms.
