Hi everyone,

Freshers is coming up next weekend (16-18 March) and it will be a great trip as we expect at least 50 of you to be joining us.

Leaving on Friday evening on a bus around 5pm, it is an easy tramp for beginners and great introduction to tramping in New Zealand.

We are walking to Totara Flats and camping overnight and then around Mt Holdsworth on Sunday (about a 4 hour walk Sat/Sun). These are in the Tararua mountain region if you want to look it up.

Make sure you check out the gear list for the essentials so you don't get caught out.

Over and out,

Josie
