2. The gorge walk
The Manawatu Gorge Walk is a walk that goes over the Manawatu Gorge. In all, it is 10km long and lots of fun. Dad and I went with some of the BAFTAH group, because we thought that it might be more fun than doing it alone. There were ten of us that did it and it took us about 4 hours to do the whole thing. There were some amazing views, and we got very close to a windmill. The first little bit was all up hill, which was very tough on your legs, but it really was worth it. After we had finished the walk, we went to the Bridge Café for afternoon tea. To get there we had to walk along the very edge of the road until we got to the carpark. The views from the top of Balance Bridge were spectacular (except if you are scared of heights). We came across a slip on one of the paths, part of the boardwalk had been taken down with the slip and so we didn’t go over it in case something happened. On the fallowing pages are pictures of the tramp.
