Summary

A fun enjoyable walk including the wonderful sights of arch brown reserve, the scary good Berwick Cemetery, the awesome edwin flack reserve and super quick Berwick athletics track.

Description

The walk starts at the Berwick famous ground arch brown and making your way through the scary good cemetery. You make your way down the longest stretch of the walk which is mainly down hill. You reach Manuka road after a while and find your self taking two lefts. One to turn onto Manuka road and the other to enter the amazing Edwin flack reserve. It includes the Berwick bowling club, Bewick football club, Berwick cricket club and Berwick secondary college. After admiring the oven for a couple of minutes you enter the free to access Berwick athletics track and sprinting down the lane for first place. It's just a coulple of minutes after entering the track that you leave the sprinting surface onto something a little more slidey and swingy. You walk through the play ground to enter the final stretch of amazing walk. The challenging incline. Growing taller every step, the steep hill is by far the hardest section of the marathon. As you reach the top you start to see some familiar faces. Some of the worn out places you love and remember. You start to see the place you started and your tears are filling up your glasses as you know you are going no where because the walk has come to a sad but well earned conclusion.
