It is my farewell to say BYE because, as most of you know, I am off to China. 5:30pm, this Satuday, 13 December, 2009. BYO drinks, snacks provided. Please let me know if you can come so that we have some idea of amount of snacks we need to provide. Thanks! RSVP ...

Mental toughness of tramper praised:  Police say the mental and physical toughness of a tramper helped him survive a fall, gale force winds and cold sleeting hail in the Tararua Peaks.

Yeah, thanks Mikey and everyone who was involved, it was awesome - good job! Glad to hear you are recovering Andy, if not a little slowly :)

Hello all, Due to conflicting events this weekend (i.e. most people heading up to the mountain) the Mexican tramp has been postponed to a later date (unless the mountain weather is bad and I suddenly get a whole heap of people who decide they want to come). A new date will be decided on and then I will advise! Amelia

Hello everyone, For those of you who are confused the Mexican Cross-dressing Tramp is taking place but just not this weekend because of conflicting events. It will now be taking place next weekend, 20-21 September. So get all your sombreros ready for next weekend! More info at the meeting on Tuesday. Amelia

No, no, no! Sorry Ollie but the Mexican tramp has been put forward a week to the 20-21st because of a certain someone's birthday so you are NOT allowed to steal that weekend for climbing. I'm sorry but that weekend is for Mexican cross-dressers only!!!
