Summit Road Society

I've traced my family's introduction to tramping on Christchurch's Port Hills back to at least the 1850s.

The earliest of them tramped over the hills on the Bridle Path from Lyttelton to their new home. I've often stood where the Bridle Path crosses the Summit Road and tried to imagine what it was like for them back then.

Countless other times I've been there just totally involved in the enjoyment of tramping on the Port Hills for its own sake.

Many Christchurch people, even without such an ancestral connection, have a strong personal attachment to the city's hills.

The Summit Road Society needs the support of as many as possible to help protect more of the Port Hills for our own and future generations.

Please check this link to the website of the Summit Road Society. And give thought to adding your name to their membership. It's a very cheap investment.
