River Crossing Theory Course - Freyberg Park, Browns Bay

River Crossing Course - New Arrangements for Sunday:7th Nov'21 

With Auckland still in lockdown our River Crossing Course in the Karangahake Gorge is not able to proceed as planned. Instead I have come up with a plan in conjunction with Outdoor Training NZ to provide a viable alternative so everyone has some preparation for the Xmas Trip.

Outdoor Training NZ has kindly put together a training session for us which will provide you with the key areas to think about before crossing rivers.

 If the practical part of the Course is not able to be run this year you will receive a credit for the difference.
