It's Wednesday Again!

A lovely day for a paddle, with a few light breezes and even relatively warm. We paddled down to Teddington which is at the very bottom of Lyttelton Harbour. Some of us had never been there before, me included.

Approximately 15 km in length from its mouth to Teddington, Lyttelton (Māori: Te Whaka-raupo) Harbour was formed from a series of ancient volcanic eruptions that created a caldera, the steep sides of which form the Port Hills on its northern shore.

This image shows some of the attractive rock formations that are volcanic in origin - as well as a bunch of attractive kayakers! - paddling through a narrow gap. I just measured on my map; we paddled about 16kms today. I've marked on the Blip map here where Teddington is.

More paddlers . . .
