We will be walking around the Omokoroa Golf Course with some streets and some formed pathways.
Start time 11am
Distance, 1 hour, approx 5km
Meet in the Omokoroa Fresh Choice carpark which is on Omokoroa Rd approx 3km from SH2.
Toilets - there are no toilets at the start. However on the way to Fresh Choice, you will pass Western Ave, there are toilets there. We will also be passing these toilets on the walk if there is a need. The Coffee Club at the finish will also have toilets.
Footwear, anything for a 5km walk goes. Walking poles are not required.
Lunch will be at the new opening today Coffee Club at Omokoroa starting at around 12 noon. If you don't want to do the walk, meet us there around noon. The Coffee Club is in the new shops next to the Fresh Choice supermarket with access off Hamurana Rd or Tralee St.

Remember a donation to the driver is recommended.
Can you please let me know if you are coming on the hike and lunch. I need to know numbers by Tuesday night so I can book a table.
Remember, cancellation emails due to bad weather will be sent out on the day no later than 730am BUT the lunch will be held irrespective of weather conditions.
As this is the last walk for the year and probably the last for the group, please make an effort to attend.
