Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 24th January.

We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am

Last week we drove up to the High Road and then north to the Pocahontas turnoff and down to a parking spot on the old main haul road from the south just where the road up the mountain branches off.  Walking back towards Pocahontas Bay our plan was to do a circular hike visiting two small bays and returning to the vehicles from the second one.  We had time to do this, but we found out we needed a very low tide to avoid the rocky shoreline so we ate lunch in the first bay and returned the way we had come.  It was a very pleasant day for hiking and we found things of interest including some edible mushrooms, an attractive waterfall on a creek that is usually a quiet trickle and some impressive mature cedars.   The circular hike will keep for a low tide day in the summer perhaps.
