Walking Groups
 

Organised walks were an activity that the club used to lead, but early in 2023, there had been no walking group in operation for some time. However, a walking group activity was restarted later in the year.  Brent and Lynette Marks started the group in May 2023 and to the end of October, 11 walks had been completed, all with good attendance numbers. The walks are spaced at 2 week intervals, on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday morning, whichever day offers the best weather forecast. To date this approach has served us well in that we have only been rained on once. For that walk we were committed to that day, having special guests Antony Hamel (author) and Paul Coffey guiding us. Most walks have been based around Paul Hayward’s series of booklets “Intriguing Dunedin Street Walks”, or Antony Hamel’s “Dunedin Tracks and Trails” book. The history provided in both publications is very informative.
