Walkers can expect to see the Mahurangi region from many different vantage points during the walking weekend. This photo was taken on the Mahu West Wonderland walk last year.
Three new walks have been added to the Warkworth Walks programme this year, which goes on sale on Sunday, September 5.
And committee member Luke Williamson says if you want to secure a place on a specific walk, it pays not to delay.
About 75 per cent of places sell out on the first day!
The event is in its 13th year and will be held from November 12 to 14.
There will be 11 walks to choose from, including firm favourites such as the Big Omaha Trail, Duck Creek Explorer, Pohuehue to Puhoi, and Majestic Mahurangi. There are also three new walks (see above).
The walks are graded from one to five (hardest) and most walks require a reasonable level of fitness.
“We’ve been endeavouring to find a gentler walk to add to the programme, but as most of the committee are keen walkers, it’s been difficult to come up with someone interested in organising it,” Luke says.
Behind the scenes is a hard-working committee of 10, supported by nearly 40 guides, tailenders and property owners.
