Waitakere - Old Exhibition Rd, Beveridge Track, Slip Track Loop (13km)

This coming Saturday we will do a loop walk past the Arataki Visitor Centre in the Waitakere ranges, enjoying the bush and beautiful views to the Lower Nihotupu Dam. We will walk along Exhibition Drive, then up Beveridge track to the Arataki Visitor Centre, where we will have a break. We will then walk down Slip track and along the Pipeline Road. Then return to the start via Exhibition Drive. The tracks/roads are all gravel and well formed. They are not muddy or slippery, but a good level of fitness is required.

Communication: We are aiming to have minimal posts on the discussion feed so that people read any important leader posts re events. If you need to change your RSVP just change via the RSVP system or message the group organiser directly. After a walk that you've attended, you’re welcome to post a few general comments, but please keep these brief. Do not post any personal details or referrals to personal details such as phone numbers, facebook links or email addresses. Thanks :)

Meetup groups like this one are run by volunteers who would like to relax and enjoy the event as much as other participants. As such we expect everyone to take responsibility for themselves as we are not liable for any personal loss or injury at any event. By RSVP ing "Yes" you accept that you have read all the details of the trip and that you participate at your own risk. Therefore for your own safety and enjoyment and that of others please do not sign up for an event unless you know that your abilities are well within the level of fitness and agility required for it.
If you want to bring a friend to an event they need to sign up to this group so that they have the same understanding as above. Also there are limited spaces for our trips and so many members, so we have a policy that only members can come.

Sorry no children, pets or smoking.
