**IN A NUTSHELL**
*Please bring $2 koha towards Meetup fees.*

This is an easy loop walk taking approximately one hour, beginning and ending in lower Colombo St and taking in part of the Cashmere hills. Most of the walk is flat or downhill, with a short uphill section. A great beginners walk! Kids and doggos welcome. Optional coffee/snack afterwards at The Birdwood.

To be held on the last Saturday of every month.

**WALKING WONDERS GRADING SYSTEM**
Walking Wonders has introduced a grading system for all walks, with Level 1 the easiest and Level 5 the most challenging:

**THE WALK**
This is a nice short walk because of the varied route and great views from the Cashmere lookout.

Starting at Ernlea Terrace off lower Colombo Street (outside the Lotus Day Spa), we head for the hills in a loop walk that takes us through several reserves including Ernle Clark Reserve, Purau Reserve and Holliss Reserve.

We will be going offroad through the Purau Reserve and it may be muddy. Other reserves are mostly gravel tracks. At the Cashmere lookout we'll stop to have the compulsory group photo before heading downhill, through Holliss Reserve and back towards Ernlea Terrace via Donkey Track.

Those heading to The Birdwood for morning tea will split off about ten minutes before the end of the walk and head down Malcolm St. The rest of the group will carry on up Hunter Terrace and through the grounds of South Christchurch Library to come out on Colombo St opposite Ernlea Terrace.

The walk should take around an hour at a reasonable pace. Most of the walk is flat, but there is a short, steep section. Don't worry, you won't get left behind 🙂. There are also a couple of sets of steps that go quite steeply downhill.

NB - On our previous times doing this walk there has been a Gold Fern Honey stall on Hunter Terrace selling delicious honey at reasonable prices. There is an honesty box or you can pay via internet banking. I eat the dark spiced honey by the spoonful!

**BRING**
Bring: 1L water, sturdy walking shoes, warm layers, hat, sunscreen and a $2 contribution to Meetup fees (note these are going up 50% to approx $170 every 6 months). You're welcome to bring your doggo too 😊.
