The Trip to Pataua Bay


Here's my friend on our hilly trip to Pataua Bay... approximately 30km. Hard work, especially pulling that trailer. I was using M's wife's bike, which was pretty small, although light. I managed fine.

I call this one "Grazing Brown Cow on Hillside takes interest in Cyclists."

Here's the footbridge from one part of Pataua Bay to another. There is no vehicle access bridge, so cars have to drive 30 minutes back into Whangerei and 30 minutes out again if they want to drive from one part to the other. I think the hike across the footbridge is much better.

Nice photo of the bridge Mark! My family and I have been going to Pataua for our holidays since 1968 or thereabouts. We let the house out these days, I've just been putting some older photos up on the blog, including a similar view of the old wooden bridge!

Have a look here if you want a reminder of your visit:
