WARO LAKE

 It was back to Waro Lake at Hikurangi for today's Parkinson Walk.  We had a good turnout of 15 people which was great and the forecast rain held off.

The reflections on the lake were really good today 








Everyone managed the walk around the lake and six of us then walked around the rocks but the opposite way to our usual walk meaning we had a different view of the rocks.I had not noticed this tree growing up in the middle of this rock before.




While we were walking a man arrived and set up a foil ski and, just as we were leaving he went in front of us.  It looked great.

  1. These are interesting and lovely photos of your walk. What is a foil ski? I enlarged the picture but wasn’t sure what I was looking for.

    1. Arleen, I think that is the correct term. It looks like a surfboard flying in the air with a foil like the America Cup boats. I hadn't seen or heard of one.

  2. I've never been there, nice to know it's there.

    1. Coming from the north you take the first left turn to Hikurangi then a left turn to Transfer Station and Lake Waro. Lovely walk around lake and one around rocks. Miner's Rest Cafe at Hikurangi is good.
