Lyttel Strollers

Following the eartuquakes when the roads were more driveable, a group of Lyttelton walkers would drive weekly to Beckenham library in the community van. There they would join a Beckenham group led by a retired teacher who was a keep tramper who would "route march" around the local urban streets. No time to stop, catch a breath or study houses and gardens. Following the walks, before disbanding, there would be teas and coffees at the library cafe where prices were above average and the portions smaller.

After a year or so of this, the Lyttelton Walkers decided it could do better with more stimulating walks and a sampling of various cafes.

So began "The Lyttelton Strollers" walking group with car pooling and public transport the group set out for greener pastures, other localities to discover, explore and discuss houses and gardens etc. Houses repair, rebuilt and otherwise. Private gardens, botanic gardens, Hagley Park, Mona Vale, The City promenade and beaches just to name a few destinations. Good social outings.

This 50s plus group mostly opts for walks on the flat or not too hilly where a normal/average level of fitness is required. No route marching.

If one is new to the community, this is a good way to meet other locals and make new friends.

The group is free to join for those predominately 50s plus by just turning up with prior notification. So you don't get missed, by contacting Reuben 028 400 1036. Walkers meet at 10.30am outside the library on Thursdays unless travelling by bus in which case
