Runners would get dropped off first on Grenada Drive, just past the intersection with Mark Avenue (Bus stop is 3451).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Runners would head up the Grenada Grinderton to exit onto Horokiwi Road. Head north on Horokiwi Rd for about 1.5km before dropping down the Horokiwi Bridleway. This does include a steepish downhill section and likely some walking for a period and with some small streams to cross. This will join up with Bake Beans Bend where you head south to join the main track, head south and exit at Cornish Street. You then make your way to Jackson Street in Petone for the waiting Bus and Caf\u00e9 stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"overflow:hidden;position:relative;\"><div

Trails&nbsp;<\/strong>(Approx 6.2 km), undulating scenic bush trails which overlook the Wellington harbour.&nbsp; Walkers would get dropped off on Kenmore Street in Newlands (Bus stop is 3770) and picked up near the corner of Ladbrooke Drive and Woodridge Drive (nearest Bus stop is 3758).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walkers would head south and turn left into Glanmire Rd which then becomes Domett St.&nbsp; Turn right into Waitai Lane and at the end, cross the street to join the \u201cTe Pari Karangaranga\u201d walkway there.&nbsp; This walkway ends on Cromwell Point.&nbsp; Turn left and head north, turning right down Tamworth Cres.&nbsp; At the bottom of Tamworth Cres, enter the \u201cGilberd Bush Reserve\u201d.&nbsp; Follow this trail.&nbsp; There are a number of turnoffs on your left, ignore these as they just join up to local streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will ultimately take you to Waihinahina Park (Dennis Duggan Park) which is the old Newlands Tip site.&nbsp; Walk through the park (after enjoying the view) to the carpark and then walk up Ladbrooke Drive to the end to join the waiting Bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those wishing on a shorter walk, there is a turnoff at about 4km which will take you to the top of Ladbrooke Drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"overflow:hidden;position:relative;\"><div

vantage points on the Newlands trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Slower Runners<\/strong>&nbsp;can do the full Walkers route and can add sections as they so desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no toilets nearby at the start of the routes with the nearest toilets being at the Newlands Shopping Centre on Newlands Rd, just down from the New World Supermarket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any questions, please let me

the event of wet weather, I will likely amend the running route and not end at Petone as the Horokiwi Bridleway would probably not be suitable in wet weather and will likely arrange a route around Grenada Village\/Churton Park\/Newlands instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposed route for the Walkers would not need to change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caf\u00e9 stop could therefore perhaps be Caf\u00e9
