Event overview
Third in a series organised by Russell Whitlock! The previous two were incredible fun – and I think we all got to learn a little more about the Hutt Valley from those rallies.
Starting point will be at the Petone McDonald’s (next door to Pak N Save) at 8am for breakfast (yes, Macca’s for brekkie – got a problem with that?).
Please bring a co-driver, a camera (cellphone camera will do just perfectly), a pen and something to write on (not the 2025 Yearbook!). Finally, bring a picnic lunch, as there are no shops or cafes where we’ll be ending up. And if you’re allergic to grass, you might want to bring a couple of fold up picnic chairs, too, or a blanket.
Start: Breakfast at Macca’s Petone, 8:00am
Depart: 9:00am
Lunch: BYO picnic lunch (and maybe chairs and/or blankets)
