Here is the proposal for the Bus Trip out to Te Whiti Park in Lower Hutt.
The Bus for 05 Oct 2025 will drop the Runners off first near Naenae, on Waddington Drive near the corner of McEnroe Grove and then head to Te Whiti Park on White Line East and park there and remain there till the Walkers and Runners return. There are toilets available at the carpark off Whites Line East.
The suggestion for the Café is one we have been to before – “Caffiend” on Jackson Street in Petone.
Proposed Routes
Runners – The Waddington Winder to Naenae, returning to Te Whiti Park (approx. 15km)
The Runners will cross the Waiwhetu Stream off Waddington Drive and
climb a new trail to most “The Waddington Winder”, to reach the ridgeline above.
If the stream is high an alternative entrance can be found off Judd Crescent, opposite #100.
From the ridgeline head north along the ECNZ Pylon Track all the way to Naenae and
descend on the newly upgraded track to Rata Street.
Down Hay Street to Waddington Drive and
follow the Waiwhetu Stream back to the start.
Turn left into Hamerton Street and
then follow Riverside Drive all the way (with a short detour along Wyndrum Ave) back to Te Whiti Park and
the waiting bus.
