Seventeen years in the making... one of New Zealand's most ambitious ever voluntary projects... and now, the grand opening celebration...

The world's newest, one of the longest, and one of its most spectacular walking trails, opens on Saturday, December 3, in Wellington. That's the mid-point of our very own, Cape Reinga to Bluff, Te Araroa walking trail.

From the far north to the deep south, Te Araroa - which means The Long Pathway - links New Zealand's most spiritual, historic and scenic locations.

For Kiwis and tourists alike, it opens up a 3,000-km hike through some of the world's most spectacular scenery.

The December 3 opening is a celebration of the success of those 17 years of voluntary effort from many hundreds of New Zealanders up and down the country.

Both in breadth and dedication, Te Araroa is one of New Zealand's most ambitious voluntary projects, and we'd very much like you to be at the opening of the trail on December 3 with us.

We have attached the invitation and would appreciate an RSVP to rmackenz@xtra.co.nz

Kind regards
