Bangers to Bluff: No it’s not about sausages!!

It’s about buying an old banger (car) for under $2000 and driving it over 12 days with a group of like-minded adventurers from Auckland to Bluff, to raise money for charity.

Start date is Tuesday the 21st March 2023 in Auckland and finish in Bluff/Invercargill on Saturday 1st of April 2023 where the "bangers" are auctioned off.

The route is “Roads less travelled”. The bangers have lots of support along the way!!

Protecta Insurance has donated third party insurance for all entrants and the AA have donated roadside assistance to all vehicles.

NES Hire has once again donated the use of a Support Ute with basic support materials plus towing a BBQ trailer. The Half Moon Bay Rotary Club will provide crew for this vehicle for the whole trip.

At the conclusion in Invercargill, all vehicles will be auctioned off by William Todd and Co (2011) Ltd with all proceeds going to Charity.

The masthead charities are Multiple Sclerosis NZ www.msnz.org.nz (https://www.msnz.org.nz/) and the Hopeworks Foundation www.hopeworks.org.nz (https://www.hopeworks.org.nz/) together with other charities chosen by the Rotary Club of Half Moon Bay Charitable Trust.

Roads travelled will include the Raglan to Kawhia Road, Molesworth Station Track , (via Kaikoura if the Track is closed/not suitable); Mt Cook; Damseys Pass and the wonderful sights of the Catlins.
