Peter Smith team wellingtonIt’s a sunny day, politicians are queuing to shake your hand and the Prime Minister is waving from a Beehive window. Sounds too good to be true? Hey it’s a capital send off and anything is possible. A short paddle across the harbour and a cycle leg gets you to the southern toe of the mighty Tararua Ranges and the famous Southern Crossing. After a challenge like this, your fit cycling legs will blast you up through the Manawata and to the Rangitkei River for a float down its spectacular gorges. A few more cycled K’s and the final destination comes into view. You strap on your boots and in best Sir Ed style “knock the ….??? off”. Hey it’s a family site. We don’t use that language here! The Wellington team are all South Islanders connected with our Christchurch branch. VIEW LATEST POST: Photo Gallery Photo GalleryPosted Thu 29 Jan, 2009
