Time is fast approaching
15 January 2017
We have been actively out and about fundraising and getting sponsors for various things. We have been very lucky with sponsorship,from several companies to help us make the trek a little more comfortable and easy to organise. They include : Jack Links (beef jerky) : Aarn Design (body pack) : Lowa (boots and socks) : Ems Powercookies (1/2 price) : Backcountry Cuisine (trade deal) : Haraways (Steel milled oats enough for our breakfasts all the way) : Martins Mitre10 Westport (1/2 price gas) : Subway Westport (vouchers for raffle) : Westport Cafe's (Jae's : Gibby's : PRs for vouchers for A&P day) and all of you that have donated so far.
A great day at the Buller A&P show $175 in donations : Thank you
We are now leaving on February the 20th The Group of complete trail walkers now includes My Self Christine Wellington, Muriel Donald and Lissie Hogg. We have Debbie Aimes doing from Ship Cove to St Arnaud and Richard Rossiter joining us for two weeks in April to take some great photos, I'm glad I don't have to lug all that camera gear. Richard is the guy who has taken the magnificent photo we have used of the Kea at McKay Hut on the Heaphy.
Every little bit helps and I am sure that more people are now aware of the endangerment to our fiesty kea.
