At the bottom of the valley there is Tunnel Gully Recreational area. It’s about an hours walk along the Rimutaka Trail to get there and a welcoming picnic area to rest before starting the hike back up the hill.
Bob and Sheila did this walk a week or so ago and took a picture that [...]

There’s been plenty of progress on Mike and Andrea’s house and it’s almost watertight. Not too soon given the way the weather has been but it’s good for them that things are moving along as well as they are.

At last the neighbours have started the actual framing on their house. I know it’s a huge relief to them after waiting since April for their build to begin.
Talking to them it seems that they have been having builder problems of a magnitude that I wouldn’t like to think about. Their budget has blown, [...]
