Overview
A brand new Walking Festival history walk.
"One hundred years ago, my grandparents, Estelle and Bert Le Roy came to Onetangi with their three young children for a holiday. They stayed for 60 years".
Join wonderful local Margaret Peacock as we walk Onetangi, up hills and down, and she creates a picture of what Onetangi was like at that time and how a sense of community developed.
There will be much talking with the walking and stories shared about Onetangi from the 1920s – 1980s.
This walk is graded 5 out of 10. It is partly on tracks and partly on quiet roads, though does have a few steps and grassy, potentially muddy sections. Please choose walks you are comfortable with and if you are booking for others, check with them too. Thanks.
