The weather looks great at the moment, so some of us are keen to head up to the summit and camp there, and perhaps do a bit of climbing (of the ice variety, if indeed there is any ice left). Note that crampon and ice-axe skills will most likely be required for this option.</P> <P>Also Sarah was thinking of doing a lower level tramp, the Pouakai circuit which would not require any snow skills and should be relatively easy to moderate tramping. See the <A href="http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/wanganui/taranaki-area/pouakai-circuit/">doc website</A> for more details.</P> <P>Email me at <A href="mailto:patonomatic@gmail.com">patonomatic@gmail.com</A> if you're interested in either of these options or come along to the meeting tonight (Tuesday). Note this may well replace the scheduled Taranaki trip on 10-12 December, which could be used for something else like Carkeek or the Ruahines...</P> <P>Cheers,</P>
