There wasn’t a whole lot of sunshine in Alexandra last Saturday so around 40 members jumped on the bus in the hope the sun would be shining at Northburn , just north of Cromwell. So it was a bit disappointing to be under cloud all the way ,sunshine hinting in the distance.

Well about 40 members turned up for a local outing from the Alex Bowling club at Molyneux Park on Saturday.  It has been  a grey old cloudy winter so far this year , so some weak sunshine breaking through the clouds helped to brighten the day.

Greetings yet again walkers and runners.

Queen's Birthday weekend was not the sunniest of weekends, with cloudy skies and cold temperatures. Just as well we were not at Fruitlands this week as there were hoar frost conditions down there.

Greetings walkers and runners.

Last Saturday was another popular harrier outing from Sheepshead through to Mitchells Cottage at Fruitlands. Just over 50 members made the journey there.

For those of you who listened to Ewan last week and turned up to Fruitlands, you would have been quite lonely down there on your own. That’s because a turnout in the mid-40s went to Waikerikeri Valley for a wander around there. 

Last Saturday was one of the original club outing venues, Little Valley. It remains as popular as ever with nearly 60 walkers and runners present.

Last Saturday was a bit cloudy as the harriers ventured up to McArthur Ridge for a romp around the vines. Despite the steady headwind when heading out, it soon became a tailwind, blowing many members back to afternoon tea a bit earlier than planned.

Well it seems I need a new job that doesn’t interfere with my harrier days, as I was unable to make it again on Saturday. But I was not alone in not making it to harriers, but then it was a cold drizzly old day all over Central.
