Taylor's Mistake Beach

#goldenhour
Taylors Mistake a great place to start a walk to Godley Head at the entrance to Lyttleton Harbour.
Be ready to Huff n Puff and give those Hiking Boots a workout.

“#goldenhour”
Taylors Mistake, Canterbury, NZ.
A worthwhile trip through Sumner to this well known Surfing Beach. This lone surfer made my day.

Walking track just out of Christchurch :)
