In contrast to the wild weather of a week ago, this weekend was beautiful! Sunday after Max’s Japanese sword class (Iaido), we went out to the West coast, to the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park. We did several connected walks extending along the bluffs and through the bush from Piha to Karekare beach. We tramped along the Mercer Bay Loop, Ahu Ahu Track, had lunch at Karekare beach, and then back up the bluffs along on the Comans Track. Photos are here.
