Bridge to Nowhere
Wednesday 24 January - Favourite!
Reasonable fitness and agility required
Sturdy footwear, rain wear and warm clothing for river journey. BYO lunch and snacks. Hot drinks and water provided at lunch time.
Bus to Pipiriki, followed by 32km jet boat ride and 3km bush walk. The Bridge to Nowhere is a poignant monument to 96 returned soldiers and their families who farmed there after WW1 but were unable to withstand serious erosion, flooding and poor road access. By 1942 only three farmers remained in the Mangapurua Valley and they were eventually forced to leave. The concrete bridge is the symbol of the ill-fated settlement in this ‘valley of abandoned dreams’.
Depart 8am. Return approx 5.30pm.
