Flat Fun in the EastBeginner

Description

Start off from Point England Park and follow the path that curves along the coastline.
Once you cross over the small bridge turn right at the fork.
In about 500 metres you want to turn right - it looks like it is just a grassy spur but look to your right and there is a trail. It will feel like you are going the wrong way but trust me - this is the 'fun' track.
When you get out to the road take the track on your left - it is a small and easy loop.
Run along the road till Tahuna Torea Reserve. If it is low tide go via the sand spit, otherwise follow the lagoon track. Follow this all the way to Roberta Reserve. Go out to Riddel road and run up the road for nearly a km to Chelmsford Ave. Run up this to Churchill Park. You can go lots of different directions in the park and everything leads back to itself.
Run back the way you came or via Shrewsbury Ave then Glendowie Park.
Once you get back to the Tahuna Torea walkway, follow the 'lower bush walk' then loop back around via the 'upper bush walk'. Soak in the view from Godwit lookout.
It is an easy run back to the car from here.
