Rural Run Report

On a cool Autumn morning we met at Murray and Judy Collins beautiful homestead in Springston to start our run. People enjoyed a nice morning tea with homemade baking and a stroll around the lovely gardens and lawns. The run took us through Lincoln and around the back of Tai Tapu past Otahuna Lodge to Ahuriri and over the hill to Motukarara then winding back to Coes Ford following Lake Ellesmere around to Sedgemere Domain. Had a couple of stops one at Fisherman’s Point on the edge of Lake Ellesmere and the other was the Maori Church built in 1885 out near the Marae at Sedgemere. The run took us on shingle and sealed roads through some beautiful rural landscapes. Three questions had to be answered on the way which I think most people got right. Had our lunch and award presentation at the Domain. After a warm cuppa most people motored away as the cold Canterbury easterly blew across the Lake. Thanks to Murray and Judy for an enjoyable day.
