Directions from Dunedin. Driving along Portobello Road towards Macandrew Bay: after The Cove keep going for a few minutes and where the cycleway is elevated over the water, the drive goes sharply up the opposite slope.
If it’s quite busy on the road it is often better to continue to Glenfalloch, and turn around there, so you can pull into the vege stall parking (on your way back), without having to cross the oncoming traffic! If you have a 2WD please park by the stall and walk up. PLEASE ONLY come up the drive if you have a 4WD (keeping to the left drive where it splits into two) and park up by the house. This arrangement should ensure we all fit!
