The "Summits for Ed Tribute Tour" comes to Rodney in April so if you want to take part in a final local ceremony as part of a nationwide tribute, this is your chance.
The Rodney Summit will be The Dome, just north of Warkworth and the walk will take place on Wednesday 16th April from 8.00 am. The meeting place is the Dome Tearooms carpark on State Highway 1. The walk to the summit usually takes about an hour.
There are two parts to the summit ceremony. The first part is the walk which includes local celebrities and identities and is being overseen by local Lions Club members. For the second part of the ceremony all participants are asked to bring a rock, stone or pebble from their favourite place which will be incorporated into a memorial cairn at the Sir Edmund Hillary Outdoor Pursuits Centre at Tongariro.
If you can't make the Dome Summit ceremony, there are others around the greater Auckland and Whangarei area so check out the website http://www.summitsfored.org.nz/ for details.
