I went on the Parkinson's Walk today. It was a beautiful day and we started at the Town Basin, crossing the covered bridge, around past the swimming pool complex, onto a board walk then alongside the Hatea River to Mair Park and back again. It took us just under two hours.
It was all new territory to me and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

and more bush
On the way back there were several "pedal boats?"on the water by the yachts. From a distance they looked like large surfboards with bikes on top of them and a small seat on the back. It was just like cyclists floating on the water. Unfortunately, my camera battery had gone flat so I hope to see them again and get a photo.
A good day out. I always keep spare batteries in the car; If I carried a bag (which I don't), I'd keep some in there too. You never know when they'll be needed!
ReplyDeleteYou got some very nice shots before your batteries died.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of the boats. The walk looks brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I should look for a spare battery - my camera uses a large black rectangular battery!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a beautiful day - a pity not more walkers but everyone did very well.
The walk sounds very pleasant. And two hours is just right - not too long, not too short. I'm glad you enjoyed "Red Dog", Susan. But I don't think that I can take the credit for recommending it - or if I did, I've forgotten that I did.
ReplyDeleteMair Park is one of my favourite places to visit..and it's not far from where I live which is a bonus. I used to take the kids down there 3 or 4 times a month when they were little. We'd take bread to feed the ducks, have fun on the play ground equipment and just enjoy the bush, the birds etc.
ReplyDeleteThose paddle boats look like they'd be a fun thing to do :0)
lovely photos, look at the blue sky!
ReplyDeleteWhy do batteries always do that, Susan? Lovely photos of beautiful countryside.
