One of the activities for the Year 10 electives was cycling the Duntroon-Oamaru Alps 2 Ocean trail, all 54kms of it!
With a building nor-wester, some participants achieved speeds of 58km/hr - passing through irrigators at times was a welcome cooling!
The variety in scenery was appreciated by all - the Elephant Rocks, the Historic Tokarahi Branch Rail Line, the Historic Rakis Railway Tunnel (a challenge to navigate in total darkness!) interesting old limestone buildings, a huge variety of terrain and some magnificent views.
It was a real credit to those boys not accustomed to cycling such large distances as all pushed through with smiles throughout the day, and never a complaint.
Well done boys on tackling a very challenging elective.
