What’s the recipe for creating a tempting private walk? I think it’s similar to baking a cake for a walker’s indulgence. First of all you need the right mix of ingredients: a good location, scenic values, some heritage, and a taste of nature. Secondly, effort is required with some ups and downs, some sweat and hopefully not too many tears. Lastly add in a good measure of home comforts such as hot showers, comfy beds and a good night’s sleep. The icing on the top the cake of any private walk is a tasty meal provided to enrich the experience. So with all these ingredients on offer at the new Matahuru Valley Walk, I cut the cake, take the first bite and begin to tuck in.
