This will be conducted by David Bayly who has extensive knowledge of both the history as well as flora and fauna of the area.

The walk covers around 5kms of rolling terrain and crosses through some of the most beautiful countryside in the area including trails not normally open to the public; so a real one-off opportunity.

The trails are not overly physically challenging but solid walking shoes and clothing suitable for the weather is definitely advised.

Please see attached pdf for more details.

Email: steveproc777@gmail.com

As a semi retired driving instructor I used to own one of Auckland's well known driving schools. I am now offering people my driving lessons experience for free with all the tips and tricks on how to pass a driving test. Most parents do a great job of coaching their children but don't have the tools to get up to test standard. Tips like how to navigate roundabouts and do observation points, lane changing procedures, flush medians, merging, speed zones, how and when to do the MIB - men in black procedures etc and the list goes on.

Please Note : I am trying out this new strategy to save people heaps on driving lessons and also it's a neighbourly gesture so learners can pass their test at VTNZ and avoid critical errors.
