Sunday 17 November Summer Hills Bike park – Papamoa Grade 1+
Due to access concerns, this trip replaces the one in the bulletin. Devlin's Route, McKenzie Route, Fort Route, Sheep Track, Waikuku Track, Warikanui Route, Manuka Track
Summerhill is a recreational working farm with many km’s of amazing scenic walking and biking trails, situated in the hills high above Papamoa. The various walking trails take in areas of pasture, forest and native bush. We enter the recreational area from Reid Road, off Welcome Bay Road and have our morning tea before starting out. The trail will take us down through the forest below the carpark crossing over bike trails along the way. We will need to be alert for bikes and keep together as a group, as it would be easy to wander off on a bike trail by mistake. We wind our way up and down hills in the forest with points of interest along the way, before looping back to the carpark. There is an additional walk for those who want a bit more, it’s on farm land up to a trig and return.

Sunday 3 November Lindemanns Loop Track - Katikati Grades 1+ & 2+
Grade 2+ The track begins at the carpark at the end of Lindemanns Road, where a viewing platform provides views of Katikati and the Bay of Plenty. After going through a gate, we take the right fork and begin a long but reasonably gentle ascent, interrupted by dips down to cross shallow unbridged streams and an easily negotiated slip.
Several waterfalls can be glimpsed on the way and gaps in the bush allow views over the Bay of Plenty. After about 5km we reach the junction with the Wairoa Stream Track and another waterfall.
After another 2km a steep descent brings us to the junction with the Waitawheta Hut track and the remains of an old kauri dam. The track then levels off for a short while before heading down, steep in places, back to the carpark. expect to walk about 11 km.
Grade 1's will walk the first part of the track and return at some suitable point.
Depart: 7.30am Return: 5.30pm approx
Cost: $25.00 (members) ; $30.00 (non-members)
