Dear Steffi

I saw an advertisement in the local paper containing a programme about Nordic Walking and decided to give this a go and if I could do it.

On the first day when you said that we would be walking up Mauao after only four one hour lessons, I will admit I thought you were talking through a hole in your head, as it had been nearly twenty five years since I had walked to the top.

How wrong was I, and the group did it in fifty minutes, I still cannot believe it but the photo is proof.

Thank you for giving me a chance of doing things as my fitness improves that I was missing out on, and this is because you Steffi, not only a great tutor but also a very good motivator, and we are only as good as we are due to you.

Yours in Nordic walking Kelvin Pym

If you want to have fun while you get fit Nordic Walking is the way to go and Steffi and her group are the ones to go with.

I have just completed an instruction course with Steffi who encouraged me all along the way.

By patiently correcting my many bumbling mistakes and praising my achievements, she made me feel special and Nordic Walking is now part of my life.

So thank you Steffi

Tongariro Alpine Crossing 02.01. - 04.01.09

Please pass on my gratitude to Jason at The Park. We were so grateful that he allowed Paula and the girls to spend the day there after we should have already checked out and use the room, pool and facilities. It truly made it possible for Verne and me to relax and enjoy our first day tramp together in almost 7 years. We were both quite unsettled about leaving the girls especially when Jessie got sick, but knowing that Paula had all the facilities and room to use was greatly appreciated. Honestly it was the turning point for us as when the walk was cancelled on Saturday due to weather and Jessie was sick we had decided it was just all too hard so we we're all going to head home instead of doing the walk. Thank you so much Jason, I loved the walk!!! I have already recommended The Park to a couple of friends envious that I have completed the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.

And thank you to you too Steffi and Peter. I am so please that I saw the add in the paper and committed to coming along with you as that was the motivation I needed to get my shoes on and get out there again. I have spent the past 6 years solely dedicated to the girls and was finding it extremely difficult to leave the girls and do something for myself and with Verne. I am so pleased that I did it as it reminded me just how much I love Nature, the outdoors and spending time with Verne.

Daniel and I very much enjoyed the crossing and are most grateful and impressed with your organisation, I hope to join you again on some adventure. Your shared meals where just great for a group - a wonderful way to get people together. We appreciated your fun and sense of humour and experiencing Nordic Walking, which Id like to try again.
Once again many thanks!

Cheers, Maureen and Daniel

PS: Re: Jason
I'm writing to say that I was very impressed with Jason and his team at THE PARK at National Park, where we stayed before "The Crossing" especially his honest opinion and advice about the weather forecast for the crossing and our safety and the facilities were wonderful! The spotless kitchen was very much appreciated. Jason just went the extra mile and allowed us rooms for showering after The Crossing, when some of us had to then travel home. The bunk rooms were great and having our own shower, toilet and fridge made life nice and easy Thanks! My niece, husband and family were made most welcome and this did please me. Much appreciated!!
I will recommend THE PARK to others.

Regards Maureen

First of all thank you for organising this awesome event which was very well run by you and your husband Peter! Couldn't have done any better and I know now why you are a successful motivator - it just flows out of you, your personality is affectionate and inspirational.

For Jason: Thanks very much for your relaxed, no task to hard attitude. You and your team helped us out on that miserable Saturday to keep us entertained and I very much appreciate that. I have been working in hospitality myself for 12 years and many establishments in New Zealand can learn a lot from you and your team about customer service!
