100 peaks and places
This concept for the centenary is designed to focus members on the centennial countdown. The idea is for members to climb or visit 100 peaks and places (could be a hut or a historic place of relevance to the club) and record the summits/places as we steadily approach the big day. The 100 weeks runs from Tuesday April 17 2017 to Wednesday 3 July 2019. Of course number 100 could be Kaukau itself on July 3 2019. The list is not intended to be hard-core or even consist of fixed objectives, but rather it’s a way for everyone to make a physical contribution to our approaching centenary.
Below is a compiled list of suggested peaks and places. If you complete any let me know the day and who took part and they will be added to the countdown. The idea is to get the list up on the website and add to it as things unfold.
Then follow up with our 100 achievements.
