Outdoor Expo and Race Weekend
Over the weekend of 30th, 31st October the Rimutaka Incline Railway Heritage Trust had a display at the Expo site at Poets Park, between the River Road (SH2) and Hutt River just north of Moonshine Bridge, Upper Hutt. The section of Fell track prepared for Rail-Ex was displayed, along with information boards, promoting the misssion and objectives of the Trust in 'Building a Sanctuary for Steam'.
'Fun runs, challenge and endurance by Mountain Bike, Run or Walk' were promoted, the start and finish line located within a 'tent city' giving free trials, demonstrations and information. Details of the fun runs, challenge and endurance events were to be found at [ www.onamission.co.nz ].
It was most beneficial to be able to discuss the Trust' proposal with members of the public over the weekend. The proposed new walkway design was generally well received - together with comments that new dimensions might be added to existing events, and that there might be interesting prospects for new events in conjunction with future railway facilities.
