A walk to Cambridge

My right foot has been sore for a while, and so I finally took it to the doctor on Friday. I have plantar fasciitis in it. It is the ligament that goes from heel to toe and is a weight bearing ligament. Sometimes it gets damaged and causes pain! Quite sore when I have been sitting and first thing in the morning, as I can hardly put my weight on it then. So I am on anti inflammatory drugs and I am going to physio too.

On Sunday, the tramping club had its first outing after covid. We just had a walk in Cambridge. We started at Lake Te Hoo Utu. The lake was created when Lake Taupo erupted 1800 years ago with a dam of debris from the volcano. It was used by the local Maori for food and flax in pre European days. It was a bit wet at the start of the walk, but it didn't last long. From the lake we went out to a new subdivision, where there is a nice cafe that we had lunch in. On the way we went past an out door exercise area, which we all had a go on. A bit of fun. Then back to the lake and the car park. It was nice to be out and about with the club members again. Next tramp is up Mt Maungatautari, which is up, up, up. We aren't sure how we are going to go with that, as we haven't had a lot of hill work lately, as Matamata is so flat.


Last of the autumn leaves at the lake

Not sure what this memorial was for, but it is quite cool.

There is a wetland area in the middle of the subdivision
