We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last week we were faced with yet another dull and rather overcast day and started walking from the Ballpark through the forest and swampy area directly north of Gillies Bay. We did run into much more water on the ground than expected, but managed to avoid the deeper spots and more or less followed the overgrown route of the old nature trail that was cut many years ago. Leaving the trail after it crosses Cranby Creek on a very large fallen tree we came out on the logging road that links to School Rd, and walked west and then started on a new long bike trail winding through some very mature forest. This took us to a grassy bluff to the east of the highway Gravel Pit where we stopped for lunch at a high spot with just a glimpse of the sea through some trees.
