YYNS Night Paddle to Rangitoto with Richard - Dec 28

WATCH THE SUN SET from THE TOP OF RANGITOTO on the (just gone) LONGEST DAY with Richard SAYSELL
Wednesday 28^th Dec 2016


 
Once again it is time for the annual sunset from the summit paddle, (weather permitting)
 
For those keen the general plan is, to meet at Milford Beach at the Main Car Park end at 5:30PM for a 5:45 departure, which should see us on Rangitoto by7:00PM
 
With 1Hr for a leisurely walk to the top we should be well in time to see the sun set at around 8:20
 
All that exercise of course makes you hungry so a shared feast of Xmas left overs fare and drinks should top you up and give you the energy for the return to Milford by 11:30 PM. 
 
Things to bring:-
Full night Kayaking gear
Small Backpack
Thermals and jacket - it will be chilly on the summit.
Walking shoes
Drinking water for Kayak and Climb
Torch or headlight to light your way back down the rough track. (No sprains please)
Food and drink for shared feast. (Plus chopping boards or serving dishes etc if required)
