Trip 019 - Gardens / Brown House / Upper Junction / return to Dunedin

 

DATE: December 17, 2022
DEPART: Gardens Corner, 9am
LEADER: Antony Pettinger (03 473 7924)
TRIP GRADE: Moderate (5-7 hrs)

This trip is a shorter variation of one undertaken by the club in 1923. The OTC travelled up and along the Mt Cargill Road to the road we know today as Green Road, and down to Port Chalmers.

This trip is a predominately a road walk, through North East Valley, up North Rd and then down to Blanket Bay via Upper Junction Road (with some great views).

When first planning this trip it was hoped the cycleway extension would be open, but it looks like we will need to walk around the old road to St Leonards, before completing the circuit via the cycleway and through the Gardens.
