Puhinui Reserve
A big open farm reserve on the Manukau, with long gravel tracks and room to disappear.
Rolling grazed land dropping to the harbour, with wide tracks and a stream, and enough space that you can walk for an hour without doubling back. Quiet, exposed and properly rural. There's little shade out there, so it's better on a cool morning than a hot afternoon.
