HITTHETRACKS

“As a family we love ticking off the local

walks – with a classic Kiwi packed lunch

• leaving only footprints, as they say. It’s
  exercise that’s free with no detrimental effect
  on the environment and the scenery helps
  motivate us – with the promise of an ice
  cream at the end for the kids!”
