Wednesday September 29 2021 Bay Harbour News Get to know peninsula on foot • By Samantha Mythen TWO-THIRDS OF tickets available have sold for an annual walking festival exploring Banks Peninsula. The Banks Peninsula Walking Festival is run over four weekends in November, offering guided walks in a variety of locations all around the Peninsula. More than 50 per cent of spaces for the festival sold within the first four days of sales when the tickets were released earlier this year. Festival co-ordinator Sue Church said the aim is to promote “a greater understanding” of the area and “to encourage Sue Church good health and well-being.” “All walks are guided by local volunteers with a good knowledge of the walk they intend to lead and who are passionate about the area,” she said. Many of the walks are across private land and covenanted areas in remote parts of the peninsula, otherwise inaccessible. “These are always popular with festival-goers, with the longer, harder tramps usually the first ones to sell out,” Church said. “It’s a novelty for them to be able to access somewhere they usually can’t go.” Walks include exploring the Kaitorete Spit, Brice Falls, Camp Bay, Hinewai Reserve, the Hikuraki covenant and many more, with hikes varying in difficulty, length and duration. The festival began as the Lyttelton Walking Festival but expanded in 2013 to include the whole peninsula. It is run by representatives from the Rod Donald Banks Peninsula Trust and Little Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz River/Wairewa Community Trust, with partners from Akaroa District Promotions, Diamond Harbour Community Association, Governors Bay Community Association and Project Lyttelton assisting with promoting the event. Church said they are “extremely grateful” to the volunteer guides who plan and lead the walks, as well as “the generous private landowners” who allow the festival access to their land. The event will go ahead fully if Canterbury is at alert level 1. If the region remains in alert WALKING FESTIVAL: Banks Peninsula Walking Festival co-ordinator Sue Church checking out Akaroa’s famous Rhino Walk that is a part of the new Childrens Bay Farm Walkway. level 2, several events will be cancelled and masks will be required for car pooling. Church, of Robinsons Bay, has been co-ordinating the event since 2017. “For me, one of the most rewarding parts of this job is all of the amazing people I have got to meet along the way. It is a great chance to showcase our beautiful area.” •There are still spaces available on several great walks. Tickets are available through eventfinda.co.nz – search Banks Peninsula Walking Festival 2021.
