    Hihitahi Challenge 2015

    I am very pleased to be able to announce the date for the 2015 Hihitahi Challenge. The Challenge will be held on Saturday the 7th of March, 2015. The 2015 event will be very similar to this year’s event with only a few notable changes to improve the running of on the day. The event will still include hiking, basic navigation, shooting, distance estimation, tree identification, observation and we will see about throwing in some new activities as well.

    We were extremely well supported with sponsors this year (more prizes than we had competitors!). We will be approaching sponsors again for prizes for the 2015 event. If you know someone or a business that might be interested in supporting the event (or even being involved on the day) then let me know and I’ll get in touch with them.

    I am not taking entries until I confirm a few more details. I expect to open up the entries in the new year.

    This will be the major event on our competition calendar for 2015. We are really looking forward to it and the plan is to make it better than the 2014 inaugural event!

    You are screwed then cause it is Gumboot Day in Taihape on the same day!

    Never going to pick a date that suits everyone... this weekend is chosen because my early February already has a couple of shoots scheduled. NZDA Bush Branch prize shoot is the weekend before and after that it is getting too close to the roar. And this weekend is Taranaki Anniversary weekend so I get the Monday off to make my way home without taking annual leave!

    Hmmm, gumboot day. And I also want to do the drive from Waiuru along Fields Track. I suspect your event might come out tops....

    Its a good event @ebf we'll have some prizes up for grabs as well.

    @Scribe, might be an event that interests you. Be some people there from some old hangouts of yours. @Woody put in a fantastic effort last year to make it around the course, even with his bung knees!
    @andyanimal31, will you have some new knees by this time? Be keen to see if your young fella wants to help out with the camera again too.
    @Philipo's sure to come along again after the success of this year. A couple of former forum members have already been in touch as well

    This was a great fun event last year & I'd say 2015 will be even better now that the teething has been done


    Only bastard for me is that the Karapoti Classic ( MTB race ) is on & it's the 30th this year, fuk it, decisions decisions
    Shoot it, root it & then BBQ it !!!

    Hihitahi is my old hangout Gillie. In fact it was my possum block a couple of years running. I lived a bit further down the road in Kitch Mulvays cottage.

    I watched the vid with interest and I will try to get to the next shoot.

    Super excited for this @Gillie, I'm sure the magazine would be interested too. Shall I get the editor to contact you?

    Too hard to set a date that suits everyone - that weekend is Taranaki Anniversary weekend so I don't have to take Annual Leave on the Monday while we are still packing everything up!

    Minor announcement with the 2015 Hihitahi Challenge - we will be introducing a medical related stage to the event. The medical stage will include a practical element and will contribute to the overall score.

    I am working on the event details at the moment and will announce more information soon.
