Poll: Will you try out the improved walkway now it's open again?
Two years, and $2.1 million later, Putāruru’s popular Blue Spring/Te Waihou Walkway is now fully open to the public.
What was first billed as storm and landslip repairs, which would take about a year, and less than $1 million to fix, turned into a full repair, maintenance, and upgrade job which the South Waikato District Council says “shouldn’t need shutting again for the foreseeable future”.
Will you try out the improved walkway now it's open again? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
