Eskdale reserve and beyond, around 13km

Meet by 2:50 PM for a 3:00 PM sharp start.
This will be mainly through bush with some suburban street walking to link bush sections. There will be hilly sections and possibly mud in parts. Wear hiking boots or shoes with good grip for loose gravel and muddy tracks.
We'll stop for a snack along the way.
Toilets midway into the walk.

Things to bring:
Shoes/boots suitable for a variety of terrains including loose gravel and muddy tracks - ensure your footwear is clean so not to spread Kauri dieback disease.

Sun and rain protection
Plenty of water and a snack
Sturdy closed shoes with a good grip
Something to sit on for snack stop (optional)

Members only, no children, pets, smoking or vaping

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.

As always, please change your RSVP as soon as possible if you can't make it, so that those on the waiting list get plenty of warning. The person on the bottom of the waiting list is the first to be moved by the system. If you're on the waiting list please be patient and wait to be moved to the “yes” list by the meetup site if someone drops out. We would like to take everyone who wants to come, but we also want to keep the group smallish, so please understand if you don't make it into the "Yes" list prior to the event.

Sorry no children, pets or smoking
