I AM EXPLORING THE BEST OPTIONS RE TRAVEL INSURANCE AND WILL PROVIDE UPDATES ASAP

ALL THOSE SIGNING UP WILL GO ON A WAITING LIST AND I WILL MOVE THEM TO GOING IF I AM SATISFIED THEY WILL BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE HIKE

FOR THE SAFETY OF ATTENDEES, WE WILL ONLY ACCEPT PEOPLE LIVING IN NEW ZEALAND FOR NOW SO WE CAN MEET THEM BEFORE THE EVENT AND EVALUATE WHETHER THEY WILL FIT INTO THE GROUP

NOTE:
Your safety is your responsibility.

Do not throw food waste on the trail.

Rafick will lead to control speed of the group, do not go ahead, we are in no rush to finish.

Attendees send $25 to the Rafick after the trip for helping to pay meetup dot com costs and the costs of navigation equipment, PLB, maps, etc for the group.
