Lazy Sunday Bubble(s) and Squeak via Lovers' Leap *NEW*
Sunday 13th October
This walk is less than 3 km long and takes in “Lovers Leap”, “Jim’s Walkway” and the “Fladgate Nature Trail” as well as Bubble(s) and Squeak at the award-winning “Eagles Nest”.
You will be transported to Tapeka Point where you start the climb to the Tapeka Point Lookout. If you are lucky you will see dolphins. Descending to Rocky Beach you have the opportunity to swing on a traditional tyre swing.
The locals of Tapeka are known for their hospitality so you never know what will happen as you return to Jim’s Walkway. Jim is still around at the young age of 90 years old. He is the best person to explain his track!

Notes:
1. Please check what is included and the time and length of your walk so you know what you need to bring in terms of food and water. It’s always a good idea to have a card or cash on you as you never know what you might encounter along the way.
2. The Russell Bowling Club is our Walking Weekend HQ, all walks start from there.
Jim’s Walkway changes into the Flagate Nature Trail – the home of kiwis at night.
Reaching the top of the track it is a short walk to Maiki Hill, the site of the Flagstaff, before walking to Eagles Nest – an exquisite multi-award winning world-class villa resort! We have exclusive use of many of their facilities.
As it is a lazy Sunday walk, you can have a glass of bubbles (or two) with your bubble and squeak! Non-alcoholic drinks will be provided too.
Yes, we are being lazy too with our catering!!!
You can enjoy the facilities for as long as you like – up to 3.00 pm. Lounge on the loungers, take in the 270-degree views, walk the park-like grounds!!! The Atrium is also a great place to escape to.
When you 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.
