Postponed until  Saturday 30 July.

Dorothy  has kindly offered to take a walk along a section of the coast not often explored, just a bit south of Timaru, and has supplied the following information:

Beginning at Ellis Road and walking south, a well-worn path follows along the edge of a farmer’s paddock until the railway line is reached. The path continues, alternating between beach and cliff-top walking, to near Pareora.  Views over farmland to the mountains on the western side and the rolling sea on the other make this an enjoyable walk – on a fine day.  As it is exposed, to have a calm and sunny day is most desirable, so if the forecast is not good the walk can be rescheduled for a later date.
Time: 3 to 4 hours return.
Grade: Easy
Leader: Dorothy 03 688 1333

Many of you are probably familiar with the track south of Timaru to the lighthouse.  This  walk will give you a chance to wander further down the coast, so please contact Dorothy if you would like to put your name down or would like to know more about it.

Note: The start time may change, depending on the conditions on the day.
