Sawcut Gorge, Isolation and Zoo huts Seaward Kaikouras. Three nights four days.
Sawcut Gorge, Isolation and Zoo huts Seaward Kaikouras. Three nights four days.
This route was closed because of the Kaikoura earthquake, but has now recently reopened. Park up at the end of Ure Road. Earthquake damage means the Upper Ure road is permanently closed. Now the route starts 3km lower, meaning an extra hour in the river. This is an impromptu trip where I am cadging a lift with a friend who is passing through, so I can't offer any transport. Therefore you must make your own way to the end of Ure Rd and the new start of the track, then your own way back out. I'll be dropped off in Kaikoura where I plan to do a bit of whale watching/hire a sea kayak if the weather is suitable, then plan to get a bus up to Picton 7 or 8 Feb. You are very welcome to join me in Kaikoura. Sat tramp road end through Sawcut Gorge to Isolation hut for the night. Spectacular scenery, wet feet. Sun to Brian Boru hut for lunch, then Zoo Hut overnight. This day involves a very steep climb behind Isolation hut, then a steep shingle descent to Brian Boru. 6 - 7 hours slow and steady Mon return same way to Isolation hut. Slow shingle climb up, and steep descent to Isolation hut. Tues back to the road end and our vehicles. This trip is suited to a party of four. I will add people manually when I am reassured you have your own transportation as I can't not provide any. Do your own research, know where you are going, be properly equipped. You are responsible for your own safety.

Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like youโ€™ve seen in period films such as โ€œPride and Prejudiceโ€, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. Thatโ€™s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like โ€œswing your partnerโ€ and โ€œdo-si-do,โ€ like youโ€™ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alรก โ€œRiverdance.โ€ Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THATโ€™s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
