10th – 11th December 2016 – Leisurely Weekend to Northland to catch up with some friends in Parua Bay, a visit to Last Rite Footwear (Run by Neville Brunker, a Local boot maker) in Pataua North to place an order for some new boots. Along with a visit to the Ohuatahi (Tahi) Manuka Honey to walk their trails including up to Ohuatahi Pa site. Click here to see a Map of the Walks available on the property. Note, tracks are not as well signposted as say a typical track in the Waitakare ranges or a Department of Conservation managed park.
