Whangarei Explorer 2015
Phew! 1249 steps! After many years of passing Whangarei for destinations north, Blue Top Walkers organised a short excursion to explore the Whangarei Trails over a few days. The highlight for a section of the group was completing the climb up to Mt. Manaia (with all the steps), but the views were great. An easier time on Day 2 in the A.H. Reed Memorial Park and to the Whangarei Falls, with the final day walking the Whangarei Heads (around Bream Head to Smugglers Bay, and visiting Ocean Beach. A great time was had by all, with the accommodation at Motel Sierra. The use of their conference centre allowed us room to dine as a group and enjoy some evening activities. |
