Overview

A meander around the 'forest' near Centre Parks, following lots of my regular paths. Includes Cannimore Road, giant sequoias, and Shearwater Lake, where we will stop for coffee at the newly opened Shearwater Cabin. Bring provisions for lunch and your own coffee if you don't want to visit the cafe. A pole is useful for a few steep slopes, but generally the walk will be flat and easy underfoot.
