14 WOPpers, 1 misplaced phone, 4 llamas, lovely regenerating bush, a short road walk, 2 parks that most of us hadn't visited before, muddy boots, lots of stairs and lunch on a beach - a classic WOPs late winter walk.  

Point View Reserve had both surprisingly lovely bush and panoramic views across Manukau and the Waitemata.  Further down the road, Mangemangeroa Walkway had wonderful nikau, lots of mangroves and plenty of community plantings.  Kay got sick of steps and tramped us across a bit of mudflat on the way to Shelly Beach.
