The total party was made up of 12 people with two being 15 years and under. We all meet at Waiti stream car park the with the group from Bracken Ave all arriving on time at 9.00am.

After the introductions and prayer we started along the track rising to look out over the main Bethells beach stopping for photos. The track is well used by day walkers, adventure runners and dogs. We walked on to stop for morning tea overlooking O’Neills Beach on the ridge to the north, the views are great with the weather just right for a day trip. From here the track follows the coast line and is reasonable with few step section to raise the heart rate. We stopped at 12.00 pm but by then the good had spilt into two groups the fast and the slow which meant two different lunch groups.

The return trip gives great views south down the coast we all arrived back at the car park at 4.00 pm with one of the party having a knee problem which was great going as she was in some pain and the leader stepping into a mud bog and going up over  his knee in black mud.

We all left for home at 4.30pm.
