YYNS Arapuni Trifecta with Ruth 9 ~ 11 Feb 18

 

Leader - Ruth Henderson

Arapuni Annual base camp - with Ruth - 9 - 12 Feb

Yes, three days on the Waikato River for strong beginners to seasoned paddlers with: the thermal stretch of Orakei Korako and the "Squeeze" back by popular demand (16km); the Sunday dawn commune with nature paddle followed by a walk or cycle on the Waikato cycle trail to the Rhubarb café; and on the way home for those who can take Monday off...Horahora to Karapiro (12 or 24km return).

We will need to do car shuttles on Saturday...non-paddlers welcome to come for the weekend. And a few of us who need to 'join the dots' on the river, will add 12 kms to our day by launching at Mihi.

We'll camp on a friends lawn, use their house facilities (but do bring chilly bins), enjoy their hospitality on Fri night, have a shared dinner on Sat night, and if you do stay on Sunday night, we'll cook for Peter and Hiroko.

If you haven’t been before...now is a good time!! And if you have any queries phone Ruth on 021 298 8120 or 09 422 8944. About a week before I will send out details including directions to the house (where we'll meet Fri late afternoon - early evening), and sort out any dinner details.
