Looking for a big ol' rātā 1

This trip will run again next weekend - I forgot I'm going to Ruapehu and there's been a good bit of interest:) Leaving everyone on the waitlist for a day so I can attempt to reach a trade-off between prioritising people who signed up for next weekend/those that can't go next weekend.

There's a big ol' 1000-1500 year old Northern rātā hiding out somewhere in the Akatarawa's. I think we should go and pay our respects.

It'll be a day walk, off track for part of it but pretty easy going, more deets to follow - just wanted to get this on the calendar.

If anyone knows some Karakia, these will be more than welcome.

We'll limit numbers to reduce impact - it'll be an easy enough trip to run again if there are a lot of keen beans:)
