• Year 4 late back

  Wed 24 Mar 2021
  Apologies to year 4 parents for getting back late from trip.  The foresters commission closed the planned footpath back for logging.  Really annoying where we new the section was only about 700 m long but there was no way we could risk ignoring the sign that said Stop Danger of death!!!    This put a massive diversion onto the route.

  The hike today starts at the bottom of KitBag Hill and climbing up to the old airport then down to Birches Valley and back.  A short 8 km introduction walk.
