For the second year in a row, there will be no Mangawhai Walking Weekend.

Normally held in March, the weekend has been a staple on local walkers’ calendars since 1999, but the event relies heavily on volunteer support.

Organisers did not give any explanation for the cancellation, but said there was every intention to bring the walking weekend back next year.

However, the Mangawhai Lions Food & Wine Festival, which is usually held in conjunction with the walking weekend, will still go ahead at the Mangawhai Domain, on March 15.
