Announcing….. not only are we running our weekend two day trek on 24th & 25th January (still 5 days left to register for this!) ….
Anna Wakelin has kindly organised some super fun day fitness rides at Otaio.
After pre-ride for this we will have better description of time & length of ride etc.
This will suit cavalcaders for fitness, but all are welcome & should be fun outings.
Get those dates in your diary & tag someone you think might be keen 😁

6 days left to book!! Keep those registrations coming. Pic below is trek leaders Ghizlain Nash & the mighty Luke … part horse / part mountain goat & all round good guy.
Their cheery demeanour is bound to keep everyone in good spirits as we explore the beauty of the Hakataramea.

11 days left to register for trek….What goes up must come down! Also…we highly recommend horses are shod for this trek … as you can see here some tracks have hard broken flint/ rock (or if your horse is used to boots obviously that’s fine)
