  2. THE PLAN?! Kia ora again Whanau! Here’s a visual representation of what we’re getting up to on the big day. We are planning to start from the lakefront in Qt at 8pm on the 31st. Heading from there up to the single cone summit of Remarks (weather permitting). Coming back down the Remarks access road would be an excellent time to join in for anyone who wants some downhill action. From there at what we estimate will be around 3-4am we will be making the slog from Remarks to Coronet via Dalefield. We anticipate this section to be the most tedious and so if there are any night owls out there we’d love for you to join us for some Koreros. Cutting up Hot Rod (mtb track) and onto the access road we will be making a push for the summit of Coronet. We anticipate we will summit Coronet at around 10-11am before heading back down the access road and through Arthurs Point to make our final ascent up Ben Lomond. Ben Lomond is going to be the most tedious of all and this is where we want to encourage as many of you as possible to join on and get those deep Koreros flowing. We will aim to be at the summit of Lomond at 4-5pm before making the descent back down and finishing up in town around 6.30pm. While we appreciate many of you will be working, we’d absolutely love for you all to join in when you can whether that be before or after work. Bonus points if you take the day off 🤙 Here’s some estimated stats for the nerds; Distance: 104km Vert: 5050m Mountains: 3 Legs: 4 Mana: through the roof!
