Beach Walking - stages 1 & 2

Now on a multi-stage journey to walk on along the beach from Paekakariki to about Scotts Ferry in the Manawatu. This will be done at about low tide.

First Stage (15 April) Fine weather - no wind
From the southern point of Paekakariki Beach to the Paekakariki Surf Club building. The predominant seashell on the foreshore was the Triangle Shell with a few Ringed Dosinia, Tuatua, Green-lipped Mussel, and whelks. Also several Cake Urchins mostly broken into sections.

Second Stage (17 April) Fine weather - slight south-easterly wind
From the Paekakariki Surf Club building to the Whareroa Stream. Again the predominant seashell on the foreshore was the Triangle Shell with a few Ringed Dosinia, Tuatua, Green-lipped Mussel and whelks. Also several Cake Urchins mostly broken into sections.
