Club Kaikoura Run
What a fantastic day Saturday with the Kaikoura Peninsula run on the harrier calendar.
Alastair Christie got us there and back in the safe manner he always does and the 11 harriers/walkers on board spent 1 – 1 and a half hours running or walking around the well marked and informative Kaikoura Peninsula.
The day was spectacular with the sun reflecting the snow in the gullies of the Seaward Kaikoura’s like new corrugated iron – not a breathe of wind, and views to the South as far as the eye could gaze.
It is harrier trips like that make one get to know the province and the complimentary coach trip returned your annual Harrier subscription in one afternoon !!
A great day and a day to remember I’m sure, for those 11 who responded to your call !
