Redvale to Epsom

From Redvale (north east of Albany) it was road walking for a bit to get to Long Bay, continuing my bypass of the muddy Okura River. From there down the coast through all the North Shore Bays, with super beaches, and super views from up on the cliffs in between. Took advantage of the outgoing tide to skip some of the cliffs and roads, including continuing at sea level from the south end of Takapuna beach through to Narrow Neck beach (You can’t do that at a high tide).

On Cheltenham Beach I paused briefly to watch two of the Loius Vuiton boats rounding a mark, and then headed off to Devonport to catch the ferry to downtown Auckland. Then a very familiar walk on the Coast to Coast walkway (where I broke the back of my Oxfam Trailwalker training a few years ago) through the university, Auckland Domain, and up to the summit of Mt Eden before heading to my home in Epsom

Thanks to Tony

Met up with Richard (brother-in-law) and walked from his house just off the trail with Sarah and him to the next family location in Mangere Bridge. And then more family walking group with Richard and my nephew Sam down to the airport.
