Great Taste Trail — NZ Walking Access Commission Ara Hīkoi Aotearoa 9/30/2021 Great Taste Trail — NZ Walking Access Commission Ara Hīkoi Aotearoa Great Taste Trail Cycling Mountain Biking Difculties Easy , Medium Length 172.9 km Journey Time 3-4 days Regions Tasman , Nelson Sub-Regions Tasman , Nelson Part of the Collection Nga Haerenga - The New Zealand Cycle Trail https://www.walkingaccess.govt.nz/track/great-taste-trail/pdfPreview 1/4 9/30/2021 Great Taste Trail — NZ Walking Access Commission Ara Hīkoi Aotearoa A fantastic combination of iconic attractions like the Abel Tasman National Park, the nearby Golden Bay region, year-round mild temperatures, award-winning wineries, breweries and cafes and strengths in the arts, the Nelson-Tasman region is a wonderful place for any person to explore - and it's even better on a bike. Tasman's Great Taste Trail will appeal to a variety of cyclists; everyone from cross country riders taking on the whole loop, to casual day-trippers around the coast. This fantastic 4 day, 175 km ride will take in the absolute best of the Nelson Region and cater to all levels of cyclists. The majority of the route is Grade 1 and 2, catering for all abilities. Some of the inland route is Grade 3 riding, still suitable for most riders. As of 2018, most of the route is now complete, with only the inland section between Norris Gully and Riwaka still utilising the rural road network. There are numerous itineraries for this route, so choose your own. The itinerary below suggests an easy two-day cruise along the coast, with two longer, more challenging days on the inland route. Nelson to Mapua (35 km) This trail offers views stretching from the Western Ranges to the stunning blue waters of the Tasman Bay and the Waimea Estuary - home of a range of bird species including the white heron. Beginning in central Nelson, the route uses urban cycleway infrastructure along St Vincent St before joining an old rail corridor before dropping back down past the airport. The trail then follows along the estuary. After about 10 km (on the approach to Richmond), the trail splits. Head towards Mapua via the Waimea Inlet boardwalks leading out to Rabbit Island. From the far end of the island, a short boat trip can take you to Mapua. This quaint little village has boutique shops, cafes and restaurants. Note that over the winter months the ferry operates on a limited schedule. Mapua to Kaiteriteri (42 km) Leaving Mapua to the north-west, the Tasman Loop Trail heads to Motueka - a well-serviced town with shops, wineries restaurants, a range of accommodation options and fresh fruit stalls leading into town. Initially, the trail follows the coast to Ruby Bay before heading inland onto Tasman View Rd, which as the name suggests, offers great views out to sea and down over Motueka. The trail skirts the edges of Motueka, but if you are in the mood for refreshments you can head through town instead. Continue north to Riwaka, known for its hops that give many of New Zealand's best beers their aromas. The nal stretch takes you through kiwifruit and apple orchards and along the coast to Kaiteriteri - the entry to Abel Tasman National Park - with a beautiful golden-sand beach where you can end your day with a relaxing dip. https://www.walkingaccess.govt.nz/track/great-taste-trail/pdfPreview 2/4 9/30/2021 Great Taste Trail — NZ Walking Access Commission Ara Hīkoi Aotearoa As a side trip, consider a trip over the Takaka Hill to Takaka and beautiful Golden Bay where a vareity of cycle trails are on offer - including the Heaphy Track which is now open to mountain bikers. Kaiteriteri to Tapawera (57 km) You are now entering the business end of your journey. The southern section of Tasman's Great Taste Trail leads down quiet back roads along the Motueka River's bank. Begin by back-tracking down the trail to Riwaka. Several short roads through Riwaka lead you to the Motueka Valley West Bank Road, a narrow but quiet road that will take you gradually up river. Eventually you will cross the river and continue on up the Motueka Valley Highway. Take in the views of the surrounding mountains as you come to Tapawera, a peaceful place to spend the night. Tapawera to Nelson (62 km) Today's ride will take you along an abandoned railway corridor past historic tobacco drying kilns and back into civilisation at Wakeeld. Don't forget your head torch as you will pass through New Zealand's longest decommissioned rail tunnel! From Tapawera, continue along the road past Kohatu and up to Norris Gully Reserve (11 km). It's time to get your lights on and an extra layer of clothing before entering Spooner's Tunnel. At 1.4 km long, it is the longest tunnel open to cyclists in the southern hemisphere, and the 6th longest in the world! Belgrove is not much further down the trail, where a historic windmill can be found nearby. From here it is at and fast riding back into Nelson, passing through Wakeeld, Brightwater and Richmond, each with their own culinary options. Conditions: MOBILE PHONE COVERAGE: Available throughout the trail. DRINKING WATER: Water can be purchased at shops at each township along the trail. Some drinking water is also available at reserves such as on Rabbit Island. The longest distance without water supply is from Richmond to Rabbit Island (15km). How to get here Tasman’s Great Taste Trail starts at the Nelson Airport or the Nelson i-SITE https://www.walkingaccess.govt.nz/track/great-taste-trail/pdfPreview 3/4 9/30/2021 Great Taste Trail — NZ Walking Access Commission Ara Hīkoi Aotearoa Track Elevation and Map Page last updated: Jan 6, 2021, 8:44 AM https://www.walkingaccess.govt.nz/track/great-taste-trail/pdfPreview 4/4.

The final report has now been published and is an official document for all to see. I have placed this on our school website (www.murchison.school.nz ). It can also be found on the ERO website at www.ero.govt.nz . The following are some extracts from the report: 1) “Respectful and caring relationships contribute to equitable and successful outcomes for students. Students learn in a settled and supportive learning environment. Teachers know students very well as individuals and as learners and focus on their holistic wellbeing and academic success. Individual students’ learning is well tracked and monitored by classroom teachers. The school and wider community work closely to support and enrich students’ learning.” 2) “Students who need extra assistance to succeed are very well supported. There are improved systems to effectively identify, monitor and support these students. The school works constructively with parents and experts beyond the school to find solutions to improve student outcomes at home and at school. Students with additional learning needs benefit from well -considered individual learning plans and are supported towards full inclusion.” 3) “The vision, values and priorities that underpin the school’s culture and curriculum are well known and evident in practice. This includes restorative practices and growth mindset approaches.The school’s valued outcomes for students are regularly shared to build and embed understanding.

The day after the cancellation Sept 29 Rob Schuckard visited the Spit and sent in this report - “Went today to Motueka Sandspit. Godwits most certainly have arrived ; 950 in total (1801 during February Count). A lot of the birds had very iron stained orange faces (and colour bands). Also, 2 juveniles.
