Updated $$ Goal  23 April 2016

We are officially underway, with Leg 1 & 2 (of stage 1) being worked on as I type. These legs will take you from Te Anau, via the control gates to Queens Reach, and we envisage that the opening will be held in June 2016. We hope to raise enough funds to continue later this year on Leg 3 & 4 (from Queens Reach to Balloon Loop). We are revising the Goal $$ from $150k to $50k, to reflect the fundraising we have done to date, and the work undertaken.

The trail to date looks amazing! And we really want to get further!
