YOUTHFUL HIKERS
Mother and Children Walk To Rotorua ARRIVAL AT NAPIER While it is not altogether novel for one or two persons to set out upon a hiking holiday, the sight of a mother and her three small children, complete with packs, on a hiking tour from Wellington to Rotorua is distinctly unu&ual. This was what shoppers in tbe Napier business area saiv yesterday afternoon, however, when the family arrived at the end of a journey from Wellington. , To be strietly accurate, the mother stated, the trip from Wellington, commenced on Tuesday, had not consisted entriely of hiking. On several occasions tlie party had been" given tides in motor cars, aUd yesterday had riddefi almost all tlie distance from Dannevirke to Hastings by car. The journey, the seeond of its kilid that they have made, has no definlte limits, but if the length of the school holidays permitted, they make fof Rotorua. Tbe last journey, also in the school holidays, was from Wellington to the East Coast and back thfough the King Country. The packs carried; by the mother and her three children, aged six, nine, and 10, contain blankets,. a change of clothing, and cooking utensils, but the party usually spends each night at an liotel. They left Napier this morning On the next stage of the journey to Rotorua.
