Lyttelton Crater Walk

The Walk

This is a lovely walk not to be missed, normally takes about 2.5 hours super views and a little steep and places, however most people should be able to do this walk with a moderate fitness level.

Come and Join Us meet some great people!

The Plan

We are going to meet outside the Lyttelton Coffee Company on London Street at 9:30am!

We normally do this walk at Christmas time however due to quakes we thought it would be best to let mother nature to settle for a while.

At the end of the walk we will have lunch/coffee at the Lyttelton Coffee Company! If you need any other details please text Danny
