Here’s the plan:
Before 9.30am – Arrive Waitawa Regional Park, meet Mataitai Bay carpark (main carpark next to the beach at the end of regional park road)
9.30am – Start hiking Puweto loop track
11.30am - Stop for early lunch break somewhere along the way
1.30pm – Approx finishing time

Option after to stop at Hallertau (formerly the Clevedon Pub) for drinks / snacks. 26 Clevedon-Kawakawa Road, Clevedon

Bring - Normal hiking gear - the tracks are fairly well-maintained so you can wear running shoes with good grip instead of hiking boots. A hat, raincoat and warm top are useful as this is Auckland and the weather can change fast. NO JEANS!

Food - Bring your own lunch, snacks, and enough water (2l min) etc

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 give your driver $15 for petrol.

If you can no longer attend please update your RSVP immediately to allow others to join. If you pull out at the last minute (within 24hrs of the event) or don't turn up you will be listed as a No Show. 3 No Shows will mean you cannot join an event for 6 months. This rule is in place to be fair to others.

Be sure to read all the details before you RSVP. No guests, please get them to join our group.

Donation - Due to increased Meetup subscription costs we ask all members to contribute $1 or$2 for this hike. You can either bring a gold coin on the day or make the donation direct to our dedicated bank account:
