What are the Wesley Walking Groups?
The Monday Wesley Walking group was started about fifteen years ago by George Evans and included people from St. Stephens Church. Ken Dey took over the leadership some time later and it changed into more of a tramping group so that we did more ambitious one day tramps like climbing Mt Te Aroha and Mt Karangahake. |

| Wesley Wednesday Walking Group For the past several years a fine weather walking group has been meeting on Wednesdays at 10 am for short walks of up to 1 1/2 hours. We take lunch with us and enjoy each others companionship. Most who come have been members of the Monday Tramping group but are unable to do the longer treks. We walk to Tauranga's parks and board walks, our beaches, around the Mount, or the bush and kauri walks which sometimes means travel to Katikati or Te Puke. There are many short tracks designated by councils and we probably walk most of them 2 or 3 times a year.We walk for the company, to stay fit and to enjoy the open spaces and to see the scenery from a different angle - e.g. the main railway bridge to Matapihi, which can be exciting if a train is rumbling through. We pay $2+ to our driver and share transport. Anyone is welcome. This is a photo of the group having lunch at Plummer's Point on Wed, 26/3/2012, after having walked round the grounds of the Historic Ongarahu Pa.  |

 Monday Walking Group Story Archive In this secton you'll find a recorded history of many of the walks around the Bay of Plenty. The stories about the tramps are e-mails written by Maurice Boniface to his family; hence the reference to his wife as "Mum". Included are photographs of some of the sights and artifacts they've discovered. They invite you to relax with a cup of tea and spend some time reading about their adventures...then join them!
