Leader: Elisabeth Dooley
As I was short of time, four of us met at 8am in Hanby Park and walked along the Maitai on a clear, chilly morning, turning up toward Dun Mountain after about an hour. Post logging, it’s all rather messy and hard to locate some of the tracks. As we came away from Tantragee, we decided to head for Jack’s Track and avoid walking along Brook Street.
We had a little difficulty finding the track, but eventually found ourselves heading along Jacks Track, where the views were magnificent on such a clear, sunny day. Tim was happily snapping away at the snowy mountaintops and the unusual sight of the Cook Strait ferry docked in Port Nelson.
The birdsong in this section of our walk was loud and lovely. We dropped down Atmore Terrace and back to the cars in Mill Street at 11:00 am.
