Walks filling fast

Warkworth Walks sold all but 10 of its 350 places in a single week for its popular walk series, which runs from November 8 to 11.

As Mahurangi Matters went to press, there were still limited places for the Mahurangi Masterpiece walk and Duck Creek Explorer walk.

Mahurangi Masterpiece promises to give long-distance walkers a good workout, hiking across farmland that follows the coastline of Kawau Bay. Warkworth Walks chair Luke Williamson says participants will see gorgeous bays, a range of habitats and some spectacular coastal puriri and pohutukawa.

Duck Creek Explorer crosses private land beside the Mahurangi River that is normally inaccessible to the public. Walkers will taste wine and olive oil from producers on the trail and enjoy lunch with new walking friends. Local guides will provide historical anecdotes along the way.
