September Buggy Walk

It was a glorious spring day as we gathered at the bottom of the Raumati escarpment for our monthly buggy walk. The track to the top of the hill has been upgraded and is now wide enough for buggies, and sturdy enough for little feet. The ascent was quite steep though, and the mums with buggies had to work hard to push their way to the top. The children spotted some spring flowers, and shiny leaves on the way, and some keen eyes saw two alpacas in the distance.


We made it to the top of the escarpment, and enjoyed some beautiful views over the fields and sea to Kapiti Island, and stopped at a perfect picnic spot for some morning tea and more exploring. After the lookout point the path narrowed, we passed through a gate and the shrubs around us got denser. The sun was warm, and the trees provided some shade from the wind. It really felt like spring!


We re-traced our tracks to get back to our cars, and the descent went quickly with gravity helping pull the buggies down hill. This time on our walk you could definitely hear English (we are in NZ after all), but conversation between adults and children happened in French, German, Finnish, and Afrikaans. What a truly international buggy walk!
