I stumbled on this website today, as I was looking for photos of walks I want to do with a group of children. I followed several of Dave Woodward's walks from start to end with much interest and enjoyment, feeling that it was like going for a walk with a knowledgeable and entertaining person. The photos and their little comments are like a conversation. I was glad to have "met" this website person and grateful for what he shared. I am sorry to learn that Dave died only a month ago. I think he's left a bit of his spirit in here and I hope that this great work of his, this website, will remain for others to use and enjoy, even after his death. Kind regards, BF Hello.

I was wondering if this walk would be suitable for a group of pre school children, and if there is a picnic spot near or on the track. we would have a bus dropping us off (is the road suitable for a bus?) Before taking the children one of the teachers would comlpete the walk firest. Thanks Shelley Hi, How short is a short walk?

Unfortunately I cannot be at the funeral on Thursday, however I offer a couple of quotes I enjoy. Firstly, “If the only prayer I say in my life is ‘Thank you’ , that would suffice”.

I have recently moved to live in the area and walk or jog from home at least three times a week. I am in love with the place! and feel so lucky to be close to it.

Your father used to put the outboard on the back of the little 6 foot dinghy and had to sit in the bow and steer the outboard with an oar. I think that he liked to show it off as it didn't take too much cajoling for him to do that. The trouble with getting older is that things change, but memories don't. My wife and I were up the peninsular a couple of years ago, what a wonderful area. The (what was called)the Awhitu ARA park, is a fabulous place for people to wander around. When we lived in Waiuku, the only way to the Kariotahi Beach was by bike, or some sort of 4 wheel drive. It is a popular place now with a cafe/restaurant. Keep up the good work. N.W.
