LAKE WARO

Last Monday the Parkinson Walking Group did the walk around Lake Waro then around the limestone rocks.  We last did that walk at the end of November, the sun is too harsh to do it during summer and with winter approaching I decided it would be a good time to do it again.

Luckily, the weather was perfect, sunny and a pleasant temperature.


First we walked around the lake, above,  then around the rocks below. (Cattle graze around the rocks).




We had 13 on the walk and finished up with a caffeine fix at the Miners' Rest Cafe in Hikurangi.

  1. Looks a perfect walk, and well earned fix at the end.

    1. It is a lovely walk but needs fine weather. We always visit a cafe at the end of our walks. Fitness and socialising.

    1. That is the one. Doug likes their mussel fritters, unfortunately, not much gluten free. For the previous walk at the lake I mixed up the names of the cafes and put "The Coalminer's Daughter" which is a bar in Kamo. Got it right this time.

  4. I've heard and read about this place but never been there, apparently there are bones of chiefs laid to rest in some of the caves.

    1. I didn't know that. I didn't know about it all the years we lived in the Far North. It is a great place for a walk.
