Soon I will have available an alternative coast to coast walk!!
We have created it in stages, so that at convenient points, if you need to return to the start we let you know where you can catch a bus or train.
The walk is full of variety from kauri trees, to the Parnell shops and cafes, churches and cathedrals, views of the harbours, volcanoes and Waitekere Ranges and an art collection.
It includes many playground areas for children which we hope is an incentive for them to do this walk.

Another fine winters day in Auckland – and this time we headed out west to Te Atatu Peninsula to walk along the eastern shore line that has spectacular views of the harbour.
I read elsewhere that there is a long view plan to create a walkway completely around the peninsula! I am looking forward to that.
