Mt Favourite Walk
A day tramp in Akaroa: Curry
Track/Purple Peak Track By Yvonne van Eerden
W
e have all been through lockdown again and our tramping group started venturing out of Christchurch after a couple of weeks in Level 2. We headed to Akaroa for a days tramping. It was a very nice day and the
forecast was for cool weather with possible light winds and a high of 12 degrees. That was good enough for us. It was an adventure to just head out of Christchurch. We started from the main road in Akaroa where we parked our cars and headed up the hill via Rue Grehan which was still a hike to the
start of our walk via Grehan Link Track joining the Curry track to the Heritage Park where we had spectacular views, This was definitely well worth the slight detour as the regenerating native bush along the way was incredible to see with the totara, the very old fusia trees in a little grove Above: A great view of Akaroa Harbour from the track.
