Start here .. but I have already started

Walk number 3 done and now I'm reflecting on my walk on Saturday it opened up my eyes to what is ahead ... and can I do it?
More road walking from Manukau to Clevedon ..got lost in the Auckland Botanic gardens ..but easily back on track just headed up to Hill Road and turned left then back on track.
Got to the Kimptons track and at last a walk in the bush .. but the small problem of a walk up a hill ... yes I was gasping for air on this one .. but I made it including a pit stop for lunch half way up. Made it to the top and worth the few and a glimpse back to the sky tower and gave it a glimpse of how far I had come .. small proud moment .. then back into downhill now and past a group of walkers ..then into the thick of the bush and back to looking at orange triangles .. had a small flash back to getting lost in the Coromandel ranges many years ago. Hooked up with the Clevedon Reserve circuit naturally I wanted to follow this down hill but you must turn right and head up a short walk to a great few then a short walk down the hill to the Clevedon township ... couldn't find a pub thou
So 23km for this walk total time 4:30 not including lunch break
