The Mini hikes will be on the following days

1st February 2023, Phil will be leading the hike from Waihi.

15th February 2023, Lorraine will be leading the hike to the Kauri trees and beyond up near Katikati, a great walk in summer.

I will email further details of these Mini Hikes mid January before I leave on my trip.

Note that we will be trying a new start time next year of 10am at the venue. This is for a couple of reasons, the finish time and cafe is closer to lunchtime and we may avoid more traffic congestion with any luck. We will see how it works for everyone after a couple of months to see if we keep it at 10am or revert back to 930am.

Just to give you plenty of warning, I will need 5 or 6 people to lead a Mini Hike each later in the year. Basically you just need to turn up and lead the group. I will help with the planning and emails before I leave.

So thanks everyone for walking with us this year, remember it is your group and it is you guys and girls that have made it successful.

Have a great Christmas and New Year
