ANOTHER WALK

Yesterday we got back to doing our weekly walks from home.  We had stopped while I was having my eyes done.  We decided to do it slightly differently which meant we had less walking on a main road.  We walked up past the Whangarei Falls to Sands Road.  This leads to a short unformed track which took us through to Clapham Road .  We did this the other way around recently but walked down the main road to get to it.  This time we went past the Paranui Falls into A.H.Reed Park then along the river to the Whangarei Falls, up the steps and back along the road.

The forecast was for rain but we were lucky and the showers held off until just after we returned.

According to Samsung Health the walk was 7.32 km long, took us 1 hour 42 minutes and the elevation went from 62 metres at the lowest to the highest of 135 metres.  It was a very pleasant walk but after not having walked for a few weeks we found we were quite tired afterwards.  Still this is the walk we plan to keep doing on a weekly basis with other ones in between.
