MARLBOROUGH

It’s such an incredible place, Marlborough. And it’s ours to enjoy. You don’t need to walk mega miles or summit the tallest peak to have an amazing day out.

There’s another world, just down the road ... how about:

  • Try a wander to the top of the Withers for a spectacular lookout over to the hills across the huge Wairau Valley. On a clear day you can almost touch the hills around Wellington.
  • Start by stepping out on a short stroll this winter with your family, your dog, your friends, your mother, your kids, or everyone at once. Enjoy the fresh air; even 10-15 minutes can make a difference to your outlook and your health.
  • Pull out your hat and mittens if you need to, and make a fixed plan with someone to go for a walk at the same time, even just once a week, on a particular day. No matter how long or short. And end the walk with something you enjoy – a coffee in town, a cuppa and a chat at your house – it could be the start of a great tradition, and is great fun.
  • By the time spring rolls around and is performing its magic you’ll feel energised and keen to get out there to enjoy it.
