The Mangawhai Walking Weekend is a huge community effort, with lots of people behind the scenes working to make it happen.

The Committee and Organisers:

These people work between weekends to debrief, and organise an even better next event. People who organise the parallel events such as the troubadours and Food and Wine. And all the people whose presence help make it go smoothly.

The Guides

Sometimes there are as many as 1oo guides for the actual walks, with 3-4 guides on each event. They are responsible to knowing the track, getting the timing right, recommending what fitness level is required, and managing risks along the way.
