Details

Join us for some fun recreational outdoor friendly walking around Devonport and get up a few high places here, including Mt Victoria and later visit historical North Head...once used to defend Auckland...there's underground tunnels and rooms...and old guns...for an invasion that never happened...although later Japanese military records showed that a submarine was cruising along the North Shore beaches..and at night a small boat was landed on Cheltenham Beach..they only saw houses and left...Not seeing the City of Auckland around the corner...they went back to Australia and Aucklands defense systems were never used . They remain as history here and make good sense visiting .

There's also expansive views all over the Auckland Harbour to see Rangitoto and other islands.

We'll go through the old tunnels and see where the guns were hidden..Fascinating stuff for the whole family and friends that come here in the weekends...here's your opportunity on Monday Auckland Anniversary Day ..

Active Fit Children are Welcome and Parents .And other Members from Auckland Social Events.

We will visit Cheltenham Beach nearby and either relax here while others swim...or play some beach games or build sand castles..or watch the sailing boats in the inner Harbour out for Races.

Returning to the urban areas and green reserves..we will stop at the Home of North Shores Biggest Ice Creams..at Whites Dairy...before heading back to the Devonport Ferry Building which is our Location Destination Start and Finish.

For those interested we can grab a beer or perhaps buy Fish n Chips ..

Ideally suited for people looking forward to sharing quality time outside together, slowing down and looking around with Stephen, your quirky extroverted host and Kiwi hiking guide...We will aim to be finished walking around 3pm.
