Te Henga Walkway from Constable Road to O'Neill Bay Bay and return

Date: February 10, 2017
Party: Anna, Elizabeth, Lesley
Map: 

Distance: 13km

Elevation:
Time: ? 3-4 hours
Notes: This is one of the most stunning trips on a clear summer's day. Anna picked it just right, so there was hardly any wind and quiet seas. And the contrast between the dry foliage and the turquoise sea was unbelievable. We didn't go right down to O'Neill Bay, as we couldn't face going down then turning right around and coming back up, when we could see the Bay nicely from our elevated position. The only down side? Heaps of gorse right at the edge of the track. Ouch. And see that elevation grid? Those stairs at the beginning looked rather different on the way back up, in searing heat. Check out the beetroot face.
