You could go check out the recently refurbished Dorset Ridge Hut - looks like a nice place to be holed up in in the rain! If its too wet for tubing I might be keen...

Well, not really but just a quick note to remind you all that our last informal meeting of the summer is tomorrow (Tuesday) from around 8pm at the Welsh Dragon Bar, end of courtney place. So everyone come along and drink some beer! Also come along to find out whats happening on the weekend (rumours of a Waikanae party and tubing), sign up for ...

Sounds great! Unfortunately it looks like there might be the butt end of a tropical storm coming along on Friday which could make it a wee bit too exciting... will keep people informed anyway (haven't had a confirmed sign up yet) and could always try the weekend after if it all turns to poo. Will be keen for a tramp anyway!

Hey guys, Just to let you know that the meeting on Tuesday will be from 8pm, mainly to allow the committee to discuss and organise the start of the tramping year! Its a busy time of year for us, so if you're new to the club please be patient while we sort ourselves out - we'll be meeting up at uni from 4 March and will be taking membership, ...

Hey hey, Weekend after this (23-24 February) I'm rather keen to go tubing down the Waiohine River in the Tararuas, from Mid Waiohine to Totara Flats. I haven't done it, but by all accounts its a rugged little bit of river with quite a few drops, rapids and long deep gorges so probably not for the inexperienced! So to come on this trip you ...

Yep no problemos - I was thinking of leaving from town around 10am or so anyway so could you meet up at uni shortly after that? For anyone else interested in coming we should have 2 cars leaving at 10ish on Saturday from Hunter Carpark (behind big brick building at Vic Uni Kelburn Campus). Let me know though so we can make sure theres enough ...

Hey Joe, The road from Akatarawa Saddle in should be pretty manageable on a bike, its steady but not really steep any place - and Renata hut, though basic is a much nicer place to stay than Waiotauru (which is just an old bulldozer shed). I've been to both, though not done the track in between - it must be pretty good though, as last time I was ...

You can email photos to me at patonomatic@gmail.com - if they're already on the web somewhere just email me a link to save my inbox space... As sarah says, want to get a range of photos typical of what we do - including the people, activities, scenery, and so on. If you just send one or two each (or reccommend from the website ...

Hey guys, Rajats off to Melbourne (job transfer) and is trying to get rid of his car - 1993 Honda Ascot, see trademe listing here if your interested. He would like to sell it by the 19th. Cheers,

I'm keen! Weather looking a bit better now too so should be good - I can transport 4ish people from round town area up to Khandallah if you don't want to walk :) Still got to walk up the hill though, my cars not that good!
