A helpful hint: stay organised by packing your gear by stage into large containers. Tape this list onto the container, you and your support crew will always know what you are meant to have and when. This gear is the minimum requirement while competing. If you have a bad injury and need to remain in one place, especially in poor conditions, or for an extended period of time you will need ALL of these items. Take into account your speed and the conditions when choosing gear. If you are aiming to be 3-4 hours through the mountain run stage your requirements may be different than if you are planning on taking 8+ hours. The lightest gear will not be as robust or as warm as some other options so choose based on your ability and if in doubt ask us! On race day there will be specialist support on course. During training, however, you need to be self-sufficient and your gear needs to be suitable for all conditions. Please note: Every year we see companies not associated with the event selling first aid kits or other items that do not meet all the requirements. It is your responsibility to check your gear to ensure it complies with event rules.

  • Floristic Changes Over 30 Years in a Canterbury Plains Känuka Forest Remnant, and Comparison with Adjacent Vegetation Types
    ECROYD,Available on-line BROCKERHOFF: at: http://www.nzes.org.nz/nzje CANTERBURY PLAINS KÄNUKA REMNANT 279 Floristic changes over 30 years in a Canterbury Plains känuka forest remnant, and comparison with adjacent vegetation types Chris E. Ecroyd1 and Eckehard G. Brockerhoff2 1 Ensis, Private Bag 3020, Rotorua, New Zealand Author for correspondence (E-mail: [email protected]) 2 Ensis, P.O. Box 29237, Christchurch, New Zealand ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: The Canterbury Plains have lost most of their pre-Polynesian indigenous vegetation, primarily forest and shrubland. One of the few remaining areas is the 2.3 ha Eyrewell Scientific Reserve which consists mostly of low känuka (Kunzea ericoides) forest and a small area of grassland. We assessed the Reserve vegetation using a combination of plots and transect surveys at different times of the year between 2001–2003. For comparison with the Reserve vegetation we also assessed plots in an adjacent grazed känuka remnant, adjacent cultivated pasture and Eyrewell Forest, a pine plantation. Our study of the Eyrewell Reserve in 2001–2003 found that since an assessment of the Reserve in 1972, 28 indigenous species were no longer present but 14 indigenous species and 48 adventive species were newly recorded. The dramatic invasion of the Reserve is illustrated by the fact that 60% of the 118 species recorded in 2003 were adventives compared to 34% in 1972. Despite this invasion and the loss of indigenous species, Reserve plots still have more than twice as many species as plots in the adjacent pine plantation. The Reserve also included several species of high conservation value such as the “Chronically Threatened” Leptinella serrulata, and the “At Risk” Aciphylla subflabellata, Coprosma intertexta and Pterostylis tristis.

  • 3 a CONSERVATION BLUEPRINT for CHRISTCHURCH Colin D
    3 A CONSERVATION BLUEPRINT FOR CHRISTCHURCH Colin D. Meurk1 and David A. Norton2 Introduction To be 'living in changing times* is nothing new. But each new technological revolution brings an increasingly frantic pace of change. There has been a growing separation of decision-makers from the environmental consequences of their actions; there is a general alienation of people from the land, and there has been a corresponding quantum leap in environmental and social impacts. The sad and simple truth is that the huge advances in power and sophistication of our technology have not been matched by an equivalent advance in understanding and wise use of its immense power. From a natural history perspective the colonies of the European empires suffered their most dramatic changes compressed into just a few short centuries. In New Zealand over the past millenium, the Polynesians certainly left their mark on the avifauna in addition to burning the drier forests and shrublands. But this hardly compares with the biological convuolsions of the last century or so as European technology transformed just about all arable, grazable, burnable and millable land into exotic or degraded communities, regardless of their suitability for the new uses. Even today, 2 000 ha of scrub is burnt annually in North Canterbury alone. It is equally tragic, since the lessons from past mistakes are all too obvious, that there has persisted an ongoing, but barely discernible, attrition of those natural areas that survived the initial onslaught. Inevitably the greatest pressures have occurred in and around the major urban centres. The European settlers were primarily concerned with survival, development, and attempts to tame the unfamiliar countryside.

If a gate is open or closed leave it that way. • A farm is the owner’s livelihood and if they say no dogs, then please respect this. • When driving on riverbeds keep to marked tracks or park on the bank and walk to your fishing spot. • Never push in on a pool occupied by another angler. If you are in any doubt have a chat and work out who goes where. • However, if agreed to share the pool then always enter behind any angler already there. • Move upstream or downstream with every few casts (unless you are alone).
