Titahi Bay to Makara 13-14 February
A couple of K's along some tracks and roads...
...then down to the beach
Twas a great day for walking along the beach
Open Bay
A great spot for lunch
We had a few rock scrambles along the way
Nothing we couldn't handle though
Saw some fantastic rock formations
Great Uncle Owen brought his bestest pack
And his bestest boots
Puff Daddy
We had to lower our packs here and climb down a rock crack
Mana and Kapiti Islands
Boom Rock Lodge was around the corner (above us, slightly north)

We made our destination for the night - it was a stunning bay
Hill cam
Out to Sea cam (the hill was our first climb of the day Sunday)
Tents all set up
and Flys
The club arsonist in his 'happy space'...not a care in the world
We feasted on paua we'd caught earlier...they were beautiful
Glorious sunset
Photo of (L-R) Wayne Williams, Tony Robinson jnr, Grant Stotte, Wayne's younger brother Selwyn Williams. The bach they built age 15 in the bay.

Makara wind farm
Sidling the steep hillside above the bay we stayed in
While Great Uncle Owen took the smart route up
Wayne watching the progress
The view from the top towards Makara
We climbed down into a stream
The girls working their way down
Figuring out how to get down the waterfall
We did!
Then had a shower under the waterfall...move over Nev!
Queen E had a go as well
Nicely clean we headed off
Boom Rock - gets it name from the sea pounding against it, making a 'boom' noise...interesting or what zzzzz
The last swim of the weekend
Reaching Makara
and across the stream
A group came in from Makara and met us...here are some of their photos
By the previous waterfall, Boom Rock on the right
