Auckland Baptist Tramping Club




HAKARIMATA HUDDLE

Ngaruawahia        Sat 18 Jul



Nine club members tramped in Hakarimata Range. Starting from the entrance of Hakarimata Rail Trail, they continued to the Hakarimata Walkway (southern section) until they reached the Hakarimata Summit Tower (374 meters). Then they walked on the Summit Track, the Waterworks Walk, and Waingaro Road back to the starting point. A total of 8.9 kilometres and about 4 hours (including lunch).

These tracks are well-formed and easy to walk, though undulating through the forest. Along with them are attractive stream cascades, beautiful waterfalls, and lots of native trees (rimu, miro, mata?, rewarewa, t?nekaha and kohekohe). It was a sunny day. Standing on the Summit Tower, they enjoyed the beautiful views across the Waikato Basin. Descending 335 meters on 1,349 steps from the Summit Tower to Brownlee Avenue wasn't a challenge to almost all of them at all!

David shared a devotion from the Word for Today on 17/07/2026. Referring to the walls of Jericho in the Bible, David said that "Your 'Jericho' is your fear, anger, bitterness or prejudice. … Jericho blocks your way." God brought down the walls of Jericho for Joshua, so HE does for you today. What you should do is to receive your victory by faith, speak your victory and walk out your victory, one day at a time.
