Te Ara Paparārangi / Te Ara Paparāngi ki te Tonga

• What we'll do:
Lockdown was tough and a lot of us probably got out of the habit of exercising regularly during it. So, let's ease back into things with a really simple walk.

From the WCC website:

"Te Ara Paparārangi and Te Ara Paparāngi ki te Tonga are two tracks that make up a 4.6km walk along the Harbour Escarpment between Waihinahina Park and Promontory Crescent in Newlands.

The walk is a good grade and not difficult, so is suitable for those of average fitness and all ages...

The greatest attraction of this walkway is the stunning views of Wellington Harbour and tranquillity of the regenerating and old growth native forest in Gilberd Bush Reserve. All along the route are numerous viewpoints."

This walk should take us about two hours total, including a brief 15-20 minute stop for snacks.

• What to bring:
Light snacks, water, appropriate clothing, suitable footwear, and sunscreen. This is an easy walk so preparation should be minimal. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments below. Cheers
