Last week’s walks
All three Wednesday groups walked around Linden. There were 17 Pleasure Pacers, 28 Steady Steppers and 15 Fast Footers. On Thursday, even though there was some wind to contend with, 6 walkers climbed up Mt Kaukau and on Friday 8 people walked up Colonial Knob.
Wairarapa ‘Away Walk’ 2024
The ‘Away Walk’ next year is to the Wairarapa. David Pegram advises that we are staying at the Solway Park Hotel in Masterton for three nights, arriving Tuesday 5 November. Although this is a fewer number of nights than normal for our trips we should still have four days of walking.
We currently have on hold 10 Standard Studio rooms, which have twin queen beds ($170 per night) and 15 Superior King rooms ($190 per night). A non-refundable deposit of $50 per person is required before Monday 4 December. The short timeframe is because the rooms are only on hold for a limited time.
If you are interested in going on the trip please:
1 Pay the deposit to the CPCW bank account 02-0524-0233091-000 - Please add ‘Wairarapa” in the reference field.
2 Send an email to David Pegram (David.Pegram.nz@gmail.com) with your room preference. Rooms will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Single people can either opt for a room by themselves or look to share.
Have a great week,
Brian Vincent
Convenor.
