Our 'tramp' to raise money for The Moodie Report Charity Educathlon

Today we did our tramp for  The Moodie Report Charity Educathlon.

We were set to do 7 km, but in the end we walked about 10 km in the beautiful Waitakere Ranges.

There was mud, and a little rain too, but mostly we were blessed with good weather and fantastic scenery.

We also saw some big Kauri trees, impressive!

We walked from the Arataki Visitor Centre to the Lower Huia Reservoir, stopping halfway at the Hamilton Saddle for lunch.

Thank you to all who supported and sponsored us. Click here to see how much we raised.

A 'tramp' to raise money for five educational charities

Hi all,

On Sunday 30 June our family (Peter, Arantxa, Max and I) will be doing a 7 km tramp in the Waitakere Ranges as part of The Moodie Report Charity Educathlon.

This global event is raising money for five educational charities in Brazil, India, Haiti, Bahrain and Turkey. We will be participating as a team, doing our kilometres on tracks around the Nihotupu/Hamilton Track area.



If you are able to support this worthy cause, please visit http://www.charitygiving.co.uk/peterdowling to make a donation. Note that donations are in British pounds (£1 = approx NZ$2) and our target is £250 / NZ$500.

Thank you!

Peter, Alessandra, Arantxa & Max
