Milford Beach to Takapuna Beach (return) - walk and social lunch

Now that summer is on the way, join us for a walk from Milford beach to Takapuna beach return, stopping at Takapuna for an extended lunch break - either bring your own food or buy something from any of the local cafes/shops. Some of you may want to swim so bring togs/towel if you do.

**Please note, if bad weather is forecast this event will be postponed. A decision will be made on the Friday and everyone notified.

Please note that while the majority of this walk is along beaches and easy concrete paths, there are a number of places where we will be required to rock scramble so please make sure you come prepared with good grippy footwear. If you don't enjoy rock scrambling or are not sure of your balance this walk is probably not for you.

Low tide: 12:16pm

Approx. 6km
Approx walking time. 1.5hrs

Please arrive before 11:00am so we are ready to start hiking at 11:00am.

Difficulty: 2 out of 5

Led by Helen KF. (021 0282 3600) and Mike F. (027 431 9054)

Meeting point will be the main steps down to Milford Beach. Put 63 Milford Road into your GPS and it will take you to Milford Beach Reserve/Playground. Walk towards the sea and the steps are on the very right-hand side.

Donation - Due to increased Meetup subscription costs we ask all members to contribute $2 for this hike. You can either bring a gold coin on the day or make the donation direct to our dedicated bank account:

Any donation money remaining after our 6 monthly subscription is paid will go towards safety gear for the group.

If you can no longer attend the hike please make sure you update your RSVP immediately so others can have the chance to join. If you decline within 24hrs of the start time or don't turn up this will be treated as a 'no show'. 3 no shows will mean you will be removed from the group for 6 months.

Limited to 30 people.

Bring - A hat, sunscreen and rain coat are useful as the weather can change fast. NO JEANS.

Food - Bring your own lunch or money to buy something, and enough water.

Suggest carpooling. Please comment when you rsvp whether you need a lift / can offer lifts, which part of Auckland and your mobile number. It’s up to you to arrange this among yourselves. Please bring $10 cash for your driver if you are getting a lift or make arrangements to send them a direct bank transfer. You could even catch the bus if you prefer to use public transport.

We look forward to seeing you.

Helen, Mike and Aria
