We had a great mixture of ages. The radio advertising, newspaper and other advertising really hitting the spot.
With such a big number of people we broke into 3 groups as usual for our trip around past historic Dacre Cottage to Stillwater for lunch. It was quite a sight arriving at Stillwater with dozens of hungry trampers sitting under a leafy green tree devouring their lunches. Lunch demolished time for everyone to make the most of low tide and head back around to Okura watching all the sea birds foraging along the way.
Thank you to all those club members that helped look after a group.
Feedback from other groups and my group that most are keen to join the club, so we're looking forward to seeing the all the newbies at other tramps soon.
