Thursday, 31 March 2022 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Organisers: Kathleen Griffin, Nathan Cobbald, Colan Balkwill

POSTPONED TO NEXT WEEK (31/03) DUE TO WEATHER :(  
 

The second of series of weeknight walks exploring the Wellington region - a combo of easy bushwalks & urban adventuring 

Round 2 of WWW will be to visit Te Ahumairangi Hill Lookout & scope out a cave.

We will meet at the university on Thursday evening then walk though Kelburn to one of the entrances of the town belt (probably Stellin memorial park) 
Bring warm clothes, appropriate footwear, some kind of torch & whatever snacks/bevs you desire! 

Apparently there is an old cave used for gold/silver mining on the Tinakori side of the hill that we will have a go at finding: "Thomas Tunnel is at the other end of the claustrophobia spectrum. The tunnel stretches for about 35 meters. The further you go in, the smaller the diameter of the tunnel gets before hitting a cramped dead-end. There’s a fair amount of dripping water."

Sign up if you're keen! We will send an email to everyone that's signed up on Thursday morning confirming all the details.
 

Future WWW location may include:
✅ Glow worms at the Botans
Mirimar Bunkers
Central Park, Prince of Wales Park
Brooklyn Wind Turbine & Bunkers
Makara Beach
Mt Victoria
Eastbourne Coast
✅ Te Ahumairangi Hill Lookout/Town belt
Redrocks
Wrights Hill
Round the Bays
Mt Albert past the red pandas at Newtown Zoo
Polhill Reserve
Or just other city strolling

Just a chill time walking around leisurely with some good company. Bevs & snacks are supported, good banter mandatory. 
Free trips, except maybe the occasional gold coin for petrol money if we need to drive to the location.

Free
