Hi neighbours,

The Rangituhi-Colonial Knob Warriors group invite you to join in on this walking challenge.

This is designed for those that have never walked the colonial knob walkway or have walked it but haven't been in long long time😅

This can be done at any time, there is no time limit you keep an eye on your own progress.

Here's what you do. It's in the title.
Walk1-walk to the first bridge and back to start (first day)
Walk2-walk to the next bridge then back to start
And so on & so on...until you reach the final bridge on the bush track near the top.
And before you know it you'll be walking to the top!!

Remember like any major walk or marathon, you've gotta build yourself up to it.
I would suggest walking to the same bridge several times before your confident to move onto the next.

Post your progress up with a pic on the Rangituhi Colonial Knob Warriors group page, doesn't have to be a selfie. You can do this. Enjoy!!
