Trail Run Name: CHC Epic Falls Run
Description: No messing around, a flat out burn to the falls of Waiparous, through raging rivers, up harrowing cliffs and across rocky plains. Sure Sure, the statistics of success may be stacked against us, but sheer determination will see us through! Lunch will be held at the falls, and likely we will have lots of time for much mucking about on the way back. This will be the last event of the year for myself, and also for Brian, so let’s make it a fun one!

-Damaged vehicles leaving will be assisted out by at least one working vehicle, and at least two vehicles if they are returning
-Always keep the last vehicle in your rear view mirror, radio ahead if somebody needs to stop
-Be aware that splintering off from the main group is always done at your own risk; there is little we can do if you leave radio range and we don’t know where you are, should you become lost, damaged or stuck.
