The creche our daughter attends is organising a novel fundraising event. Mix wind, exercise and play to create the inaugural Wellington Windwalk.

It’s quite a walk from the Brooklyn village up to the lone turbine which frames the suburb. About 7kms return. But there are buses back to the start, for those struggling with the hills. Plus prizes, a quiz and kite flying to help distract people during the climb.

The organisers from the committee have set up a pretty nifty website (using Wordpress nonetheless) with the catchy graphic above. You’ll find instructions for making your own kite or windwill, which will doubtless always come in handy. Print them off and save them for a rainy day.

Register now for a family or group (bring your friends) - of all ages! Rain or shine. Oh, the date: Saturday 27 September. 8.40am start.

Only in Wellington I guess.
