Tramping near Porirua

 I joined Nisa, Sue and 17 others from the Parawai Tramping Club on a trip near Porirua today. We started at Camp Elsdon and walked up through the bush to Colonial Knob. Kate had arranged permission to cross farmland walking west to the beach. We dropped into a valley then climbed up and down a hill on the other side before we reached the coast near Open Bay. We stopped for lunch when we reached the beach then continued north until we came to a lovely private sandy bay. Most of the group went for a swim but it was a bit cold for me so I paddled on the edge. We carried on around the coast to Titahi Bay past some more lovely bays and craggy rock formations. The weather was perfect and the views to the South Island, Mana Island and Kapiti Island were magnificent. A thoroughly enjoyable day with a friendly group of people.
