Lesbian Activities in Auckland, NZ
 You'll want to visit this page often as we're always updating it with fun things to do when you're sick of doing this...................... .

   

The Great Outdoors

Dyke Hikes
On the first Sunday of every month we head for the hills.
Or the plains. Or the sea. Lately we've been walking at
Whatipu and in the Kaueranga Valley. Most days involve
between 2 and 4 hours walking and the difficulty of the hikes vary.
There is a mix of gentle and more difficult hikes throughout the year.
Bring plenty to eat and drink and wear comfortable, sturdy clothing
and of course sensible shoes (!!??).
For more information and a list of the year's hikes
