Sunday Meander and Picnic via Long Beach *NEW*
Sunday 12th October
This walk is about 6 km long and takes in the lesser-known walkways between Russell and Long Beach as well as an introduction to the talented artist Lindsay Scott. Her paintings are more like photographs!
We will pass Christ Church, Cliff Whiting’s house, a cemetery or two, Carl’s Coffee Cart and walk the steepest driveway in Russell where we will have some fun with some Jaffas. There are some steep sections but the views are worth it.
Returning to town from Long Beach we will walk up to Pukematu, a gated community. You will only be able to walk here as part of the Bay of Islands Walking Weekend. Enjoy 360 degree views.
The picnic blankets will be set up, you just need to bring your lunch, and a tipple or two if you want!
Don’t forget your drinking vessel. It’s a picnic style lunch venue. Note…we can always drop anything off you don’t want to carry!
When we are ready to return to the bowling club we will shuttle you back to town. Or you could walk back to Russell a different way. Our guides will explain.
