For the next two weeks we will be meeting at the Welsh Dragon on Courtney Place. We do this during all University holidays. Come along, have a beer and enjoy the more informal setting.

This coming weekend we are heading somewhere a bit closer to home. The Rimutakas are directly across the harbour from Wellington and also offer some interesting tramping. Ideally we'll get up Papatahi (902m) and if enough people are keen attempt a traverse. Ideally we'll have 6 - 10 people keen to do a medium-fit / fit trip.

Come along on Tuesday from 7:30 or email me directly to sign up.

Hi all,

This weekend we have two days of rock climbing planned up North. Come along to the meeting to find out more and learn some more basic climbing skills.

Plus more exciting things like:

• Has Jason finally gotten rid of his cold...
• Is Craigs arm still attached to his body...

Oh and did I mention that every trip report that gets written is rewarded with some yummy chocolate? So first in first served for trips reports from last weekend!!!

Greetings all,

I trust the weekends climbing and partying has left everyone in high spirits. The few reports I've heard so far include:

"Great spot for climbing"
"Best day of my life"
"Party wasn't the same with out you [Jason] making an ass of yourself"

Ok ok so I made a few of those up... I haven't had a chance to catch up with anyone about how it all went but I'm sure it was great. Not that anyone cares but I had a fantastic weekend up in Auckland enjoying the much warmer, sunnier weather and rocking out at the best concert I've been too!!!

This weekend we have a good ol' Tararua tramp to Dorset Ridge (see post here) and the usual climbing shenanigans. We'll be having a quick run down on the club website at the meeting which shouldn't take too long and I'll show you how to configure the email alerts you recieve and a few other bits and pieces.

Hi all,

Just a quick reminder to everyone that the opening meeting is tomorrow night (Tuesday 7:30pm) in the Student Union Building, Meeting Rooms 1 & 2. If you're keen to join the club or just to find out more about what we do then this is the time and place for that.

Membership is $20 for students, $30 for non-students. This goes towards club administration, but in return it gets you access to club gear for club trips, discounts around town and cheap climbing at Fergs.

This weekend we have Freshers our start of the year trip. It's a relatively easy trip but at the same time is a great introduction to the club and tramping in the bush. Freshers costs $30 and this goes towards covering your transport and a BBQ on Sunday. You must pay at the meeting if you wish to come along. If you can't pay tomorrow night but still want to come along then please get in touch with me  personally as we may be able to work something out.

Thats all, see you all tomorrow.

Hi all,

I've just put up the calendar for the first half of the year. It's looking very exciting with a good variety of trips for all fitness levels. As always there will also be a range of adhoc trips getting organised by experienced club members.

Don't forget there's climbing at Fergs on the waterfront every Wednesday and bouldering at the Uni rec centre before meetings on Tuesdays. We'll be organising a few nights for you to find a climbing buddy and learn the basics.

See you all at the opening meeting next week.

Welcome to the 2009 tramping year! I hope that every one has had a great break and managed to indulge in a bit of sun.  There have been some great adventures going on including trips to the Garden of Eden Kahurangi’s Stacks of climbing at Paynes ford and a whole lot of sun and drinking.  There is a heap of stuff lined up for the 2009 year and we can promise excitement for all.  This weekend coming up is a long one and there are some plans brewing for this a prime opportunity to get into the hills or do some climbing.  Come along to the meeting to get more information about what is going on or just have a beer and catch up on the gossip

Our meetings are will be on every Tuesday from 7:30pm at the Welsh Dragon Bar in Between Kent and Cambridge Terraces near the Embassy theatre until uni starts

Hi all,

Always stuck trying to find some paper, or wondering what information you need to collect from your punters? Falter no more because I've just put up a super duper new trip signup form here. I've added a link to it under the Quicklinks heading on the top right hand side of the site.

Don't feel like you have to use it, but it would be really good to get them in play when next years crowd shows up. I'll try to bring along plenty to each meeting.

Would be great to get some feedback on it. Is it missing anything? Should anything be changed? etc etc...

Greetings all. We're back at the Welsh Dragon this week for the Tuesday meeting. Come along, have a beer and plan some crazy good times for the coming summer. As always there is climbing on Wednesday from 5ish, a party or two this weekend, and keep an eye on the site over the next few days for details of any trips.
