Pukekohe 3 Summits Walk

Please read details carefully before RSVP❗

Kia Ora, everyone - on 7th June (saturday), we are going to Pukekohe for a urban & rural walk . This loop includes Pukekohe hill, cape hill, the knoll (or rock, and roseville park). It starts from Pukekohe train station, and will be a good opportunity to explore Pukekohe area.

🕒 Duration: up to 5-6 hours hike & explore, including stops.
📏 Estimated distance: 14-16 km (in total)
🧗🏻 Estimated total ascent: Approx 490 m
🚶 SPEED: Medium slow (slower than medium in some sections to explore). I am hoping to complete this hike in a more relaxed way and a couple more breaks will be arranged. I appreciate our fast members to be patient and NOT go ahead of the group.
💪 DIFFICULTY: 3.5 on our 1-5 scale.
🤷‍♀️ If you RSVP, then if you are not able to go. Please Change RSVP to NO as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may be marked "no show", 3 "no show" and you will be stopped from attending for 6 months.
