‘The Maverick’ Russell loves a challenge
At 96, Logan Campbell resident Russell Parrish has achieved an incredible feat - ‘knocking off’ the summit of One Tree Hill 30 times over 30 consecutive days. Plus, it was all for a great cause — raising money and awareness for Alzheimer’s in honor of his late wife Mary.
Every single day of September, come rain, shine or blustering gale, Russell set off from his home at Ryman Healthcare’s Greenlane village to walk to the top of the iconic mountain set in the heart of Cornwall Park.
The idea also coincided with Ryman Healthcare’s annual Walking for Wellness challenge, which this year aptly had an Everest theme.

PNCC Red Rubbish Bags
These are still at Mitre10 at the price of $14.20 for 5 bags as of 2nd July. They have not gone up in price to the new PNCC maximum price of $19.00 as was going to happen on the 1st of July (to my knowledge), whether they are the new price at other outlets I do not know?
