The Lesbian Overland and Café Club is a social walking group for lesbians and their women friends. Young or not so young, we'd love you to join us.

Sunday 14th April: Hemi Matenga, Waikanae

We are planning a walk up the Parata track in the Hemi Matenga Scenic Reserve in the bush above Waikanae. This is a steady uphill climb on a well formed track under a canopy of majestic trees with dappled sunlight filtering through. The walk takes about 1.5 hours, at a comfortable pace, to reach the lookout point. Faster coming back down. View the Dept. of Conservation webpage about the walk and the WellingtonNZ.com page. Options for those who do not want to walk this far are the 45 minute loop walk or returning when you have gone far enough up hill.
We will start (and maybe finish) our walk at The Relish Café, 12 Elizabeth Street, about 100 meters over railway line heading east towards the hills ... more details on the Overlanders webpage
