WEEKLY WALK

Although our trip to Tiritiri Matangi was cancelled for yesterday the weather was quite good so we did our weekly circular walk from home.  I have just set my phone up with Samsung Health to measure the distance I walk and discovered that this walk is 5.77 km long.  It also gave a graph of the elevation of our walk which fits in with the height of the Whangarei Falls at 26 metres.



I think we are getting a reasonable work out.  The weather has packed up today (should help fill the dams).  Not the best for Doug's daughter who is moving up here from Orewa today.

There has not been a break in the rain today - not usual for here.

    I do enjoy the high-tech phones that can show this sort of information. My husband has a wrist watch with much of the same information and it also nudges him into motion if it's been determined he's been idle for too long!

      My phone is a fairly basic one (my first smart phone as I resisted having one). I prefer using it than having yet another gadget to measure the distance.

    We're desperate for rain (overnight please), poor old Haddock's is like a desert.

    That's a good walk and on beautiful surroundings!
    We need rain but I bet we don't get any for a couple of months now.
