Rocky's Walk to Tinker's Gully (afternoon) - from Tararu, the track climbs steeply before flattening out along a ridge with views of the Firth of Thames. From the high point it decends steeply into Tinker's Gully where it passes a few old mines as it follows a small stream back to the road. A faster group may wish to carry on to Thames.
