Kia ora koutou,
Hopefully you can make it to Christies Gully next weekend, 20th October, for a run/walk/wander in the south end of this large map; some great terrain that few of us are likely to have run on previously, and anyone who’s old enough to have done so won’t remember anyway.
Everyone welcome, and courses suitable to complete beginners to experienced and fit.
The usual 6 courses available (with approx. distances)
- White 3.1 km
- Yellow 3.7 km
- Orange 4.1 km
- Short Red 3.6 km
- Medium Red 5.1 km
- Long Red 7.9 km
Start times 11.30 am until 1 pm.
Directions will be signposted from Henley settlement (tucked on east side of Taieri river, halfway down the flood-free plain) (-45.9883838,170.1661913). It’s a stone’s throw from there:
300 m SW of bridge/settlement, a good shingle road leads up into hills east of the river. Follow this ~1 km to carparking. Start area is <5 min walk from there.
Planner and semi-organiser: Jim Cotter (021 025 479 67, or reply email)
Controller: Craig Pelvin
Update and reminder next week. Hope to see you there,
Ngā mihi mahana,
Jim and Craig
