About us
🌿 WELCOME
Kia Ora, Ni Hao, Hello wonderful people…
We’re the Boomers — the generation that’s seen a thing or two. We’ve raised families, had divorces, built homes, rented long term, lived and worked here or overseas, weathered storms, had children or not and walked roads that sometimes got rocky. And now here we are — at another crossroads.
Maybe it’s retirement, a change in life, a goodbye, or just feeling like the road or trail you knew has split in two. You’re not alone. We’ve all stood there.
But here’s what we know — something good always happens on the weekend.
🚗 WHAT WE’RE ABOUT — Different from the rest. We drive slow most of the time. Or fast ..We can choose..
Join the Fork Folk ! We're aiming to be a friendly bunch of all nations, of 50's, 60's, and 70's...or anyone young at heart. .
We're adventurers who choose the fun road..Weekend drives, or mid week sometimes events...easy bush walks, long lunches or dinners, or a scenic drive to watch sunsets..or sunrise..waking up in a tent. .or a motor home ..or somewhere completly new ..or familiar...with plenty of laughs around Auckland and beyond,,shared food, and a glass of wine or a beer..or water..at the beach, or on a night hike if you’re fit or can decide to exercise more..
Couples, singles, new to Auckland , all ages are welcome..in the Fork Folk family.
This is not about loud bars, crowded nights, or keeping up appearances...
We come together because we want to appreciate life — gently, joyfully, and together.

💛 WHO THIS IS FOR
If you’ve reached a place where life looks different than you imagined — whether it’s change, loss, new beginnings, or just ready to find your people — you belong here.
We don’t need to have it all figured out. We just need to be moving forward — side by side.
📍 WHY "FORK IN THE ROAD"?
Because life doesn’t always go straight. Sometimes it hands us things we never expected — the curve balls, the shifts, the surprises. But every turn — every fork — brings new possibilities we never would have found otherwise.
"The road ahead might be different than the one behind — but it’s ours to travel together."
Come join us. The engine’s running. The view is beautiful. And we’ve saved you a seat. 🙏✨
👤 ABOUT YOUR GUIDE — STEPHEN
Hi, I’m Stephen — 64, cleaner, walker, cancer survivor, recently single...again...a lifelong optimist.. I’ve stood at my own fork more than once. I’ve learned that when life shifts — it’s not the end of the story. It’s just the start of a new chapter.
Road trips have always been my joy — the open road, fresh air, good company. And I’ve noticed something: the best conversations happen when we’re moving.
I started this club because I know how it feels to wonder “what now?” — and I know how much brighter everything looks when we’re not wondering it alone.
“We don’t need the map to take the next turn — we just need each other....take a fork in the road with us ”

Kia Kaha, Stephen 💛✨
