PAGE 10 Wednesday May 16 2018 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi News Cycling challenge for 84-year-old •From page 8 “Then I had a call from Maurice Carter, the father of David Carter. I’d been very close to that family and they asked me if I’d be interested in coming back. So I did and I managed the Avon and the following year (the family) built the George Hotel, in about 1968.” When the Avon was sold, he and David Carter bought the historic Coachman Inn on Gloucester St. There was always the cycling though, and running too. He started that because it took up less time than cycling. In 1983, Mr Hunter won the teams section in the first ever Coast-to-Coast and went on to complete the teams event a further 10 times, gaining another first and two seconds. “It was a lot harder in those days,” he says. “In 1983 the run over the Mingha-Deception (Goat Pass) route didn’t have the boardwalks so you had to go over the gullies on your backside.” The last time he raced was about four years ago aged 79. Race founder Robin Judkins confirmed he was the oldest person ever to complete the 243km event. He said he wasn’t at all alarmed by Eric’s age. “The oldest guy before him SPEED: Eric Hunter racing in Liverpool in 1956, at 22. was 77 and his partner was 75 so having really old people in the event, when they’re doing it in a team (wasn’t a problem.) He did the things which he’s very good at, the mountain run and the bike ride . . . he’ll go on doing these things until he’s 100. He’s extremely fit and very determined,” said Mr Judkins. Eric himself is more circumspect as far as hanging up the lycra goes: “I don’t know. I still go canoeing because I live in Sandy Bay and my driveway goes down to the beach. And apart from going on the bike five times a week I also play golf on a Thursday. So I don’t know – when the good Lord decides enough’s enough.” HORNCASTLE ARENA June 29 - July 1 10AM - 5PM TICKETS ONLINE: starhomeshow.kiwi Shoppers approve •From page 3 Yvette Couch-Lewis, of Rapaki: “It is absolutely positive to reduce the plastic waste footprint on the environment but Countdown need to put the onus on their suppliers to curb plastic packaging too. I usually just carry my purchases.” Tania May, of Ferrymead: “I think that is a really good idea and I think that more supermarkets should do so as well. I usually use my own bags too.” Jo and Juniper Taylor-de Vocht, of Sumner: “It’s brilliant that Countdown are leading the way, all supermarkets should do the same and I already use my own bags.” Lisa Manning, of Woolston: “I think it is a good idea. I own a lot of the reusable carrier bags and use them for everything.” Mike Cusdin, of Mt Pleasant: “It is something which is inevitable. I normally bring my own bags and will always have to from next week.” Evan Price, of Redcliffs: “It is a pain but a good idea and we have to change. I sometimes bring my own carrier bags.” CHARLESWORTH WETLAND RESERVE PLANTING DAY Sunday, 20 May 10.00am - 12.00 noon COMMUNITY PLANTING CHARLESWORTH WETLAND RESERVE Charlesworth Street, off Ferry Road (next to Trees for Canterbury Native Tree Nursery) Sunday, 20 May 10.00am - 12.00 noon What to Bring?
