If that is the case then there may need to be an alternative. </P> <P>Come to the meeting tonight to find out more. </P>https://old.vuwtc.org.nz:443/cs/forums/thread/4634.aspxFri, 21 Aug 2009 17:52:47 GMT16d72366-88ed-474a-b0cc-65d60f7c13e3:4634Clarke0https://old.vuwtc.org.nz:443/cs/forums/thread/4634.aspxhttps://old.vuwtc.org.nz:443/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=11&PostID=4634<P>what side will you be going up?</P> <P>&nbsp;Clarke</P>https://old.vuwtc.org.nz:443/cs/forums/thread/4630.aspxFri, 21 Aug 2009 15:31:55 GMT16d72366-88ed-474a-b0cc-65d60f7c13e3:4630Jason0https://old.vuwtc.org.nz:443/cs/forums/thread/4630.aspxhttps://old.vuwtc.org.nz:443/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=11&PostID=4630<p>There is a trip heading up to Taranaki to do the around the mountain circuit next weekend.</p><p>Can I convince a keen soul to join me on a trip to the summit?
