Lab Walk Whitford forest Sun 20th Oct

Meet at 9.45am to start walk at 10.00am

See flyer for details

We will be meeting at the Whitford Forest behind Maraetai for our next walk. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us but it pays to be prepared. Do bring drinks with you plus any food you may need. Clothes suitable for the weather and comfortable shoes. The tracks are firm but there are water holes which the dogs will make full use of so it would be sensible to bring dog towels.

Dogs should be reasonably fit and under control. These walks are not suitable for dogs under 10 months of age and with the hot weather it can be quite hard for the older dogs. It is not restricted to members so family and friends are very welcome. We walk for about two hours or until everyone has gone far enough so it can be quite tough for small children.

After the walk the usual calling place for a coffee is Whitford which has a very dog friendly cafe

Directions Click here for map of Rewa Road
Drive through Whitford and follow the Whitford/Maraetai Road. This becomes Maraetai Drive and takes you down to the Maraetai beach and a round-about. At this round-about you turn right into Rewa Road which is twisty and takes you back to the forest. At the end of Rewa Road is where we meet. There are houses around so please park carefully and do not block anyone’s drive.

Keep your dogs on leads until we go into the forest.

If you get lost or have any queries ring Sally 0272294803
