It was my pleasure to lead the walking group from Moana Pool today as Kieran our leader was not avaiable. I decided to do a practice walk on Wednesday morning with Danny just to be certain I knew where I wanted to walk. The practice walk took 90 minutes and was just over 8kms. The course took in a lot of my "haunts" from when I was a youngster.
13 members headed off at 1:05pm. We went along Arthur Street and then turned right up Russell Street. Where Russell Street meets York Place we enter a pathway through the bush until we hit Queens Drive. We turned right until we reach Braid Road. We turned left to walk up a path beside Bellknowes Golf Course. Once we reach Ross Street we cross over to a narrow lane that comes out at Scarba Street. We head up City Road until we turn left onto Charlotte Street.We cross the road into Hereford Street which is downhill and included steps. We reach Kaikorai Valley Road and then walk past Cableways Tavern onto Taieri Road. It was then up Taieri Rd, along Helensburgh Rd. At Maori Hill we go down Drivers Rd and onto Queens Drive back to Moana Pool.
It was a lovely warm day and it took 1hr 40 mins but this included a lot of stops.
The course was:
