Past Events. The Peninsula Run. The usual eclectic collection of cars and people gathered at the Tai Tapu store for our annual Peninsula Run. When George Calder was on the committee he thought that as we are the Banks Peninsula branch, we should have a peninsula drive, and it’s become an annual event. The route took us to Little River, where we turned left to go up the Okuti Valley, and then begin a steep climb up the Bossu road to the summit, where magnificent views of the Eastern bays were a joy to behold. After meandering around the tops for a while we began the equally steep descent down to Wainui, where brakes were tested to the utmost on the narrow winding roads. Lunch was on the foreshore at Wainui, and then we proceeded to Duvauchelle and up to the Summit road, before winding round to Hilltop and back down the hill. A pleasant day of motoring on roads less travelled, and thanks to Digby Gemmell and Brian Smith for their organisation.
