Hello Everyone   This weekend its time to get back into the hills.    I'm keen to organise a trip this weekend into either the Tararuas or Ruahines leaving Friday night from the Hunter car park and getting back sometime on Sunday evening.  The trip will probably be about a medium level but depends on keenness of those ...

My general plans are as follows. I’m heading down on 21 December and will be tramping in Nelson Lakes for Christmas, coming out on 26th then hanging about/relaxing in the Marlborough Sounds for a few days before heading to Golden bay for New Years, so I'd be keen to meet up and hitch a lift with someone heading to Golden Bay from Picton on ...

Hello Everyone   The summer calendar is now posted and packed full of exiting trips, parties and other adventures.   If you see something you are interested in, contact the organiser early – if they know there is interest early on the trip is a lot more likely to go.     If you’re keen on something else, or something mid ...

For those that need it the address for the restaurant is 194 Willis St.   As said, the price for the food will be $23 payable per person to the restaurant with a corkage charge for those bringing wine.   There is also a good range of beers priced at around $4-5, as well as other drinks, coffees and desserts available on a cash per ...

Just a reminder to let Hazel know by email if you are interested in coming tramping into a lesser traveled part of the Tararuas this long Labour holiday weekend to Carkeek Hut, one of two Tararua huts that the Club is guardian and a hut with much Club history, making Carkeek a truly special place. The plan is to head into Holdsworth road end on ...

Thanks to all future leaders for coming on this on the weekend.   I hope everybody got something out of the course and that you'll apply the skills from the weekend on trips into the hills in the future.   And a big thank you to Ritchie for organising the course and preparing the options, notes and for sharing his advice. ...

Hello Everyone Next Tuesday night 16 October we will not be having a regular club meeting. Instead, we have our annual Last Supper club dinner where we descend on some unsuspecting, but nevertheless reputable, establishment to consume fine food and wine. This year I have arranged a set menu option at Roti on Willis street, a small Indian and ...

Tonight is the Annual General Meeting of the Club where we elect a new committee for the coming year. Some of this year's committee will also likely restand. It’s a unique opportunity to get involved in management of the Club if you have the drive and interest. Irrespective, we also need people along to the meeting to support the ...

  Yes Tappy certainly does sound inviting, as does Carkeek, although Carkeek could feasibly be done on a mean weekend mission, particularly with daylight saving upon us. But a long weekend is certainly needed for a good attempt at Tappy.  That said, I've just found out that a group of 18 from the Tararua Tramping Club are booked ...

I'll be looking to leave Welly around 4-5 stopping on the way for supplies. So if you need a lift around this time let me know, best to txt me before then. I'll be returning Sunday morning.  Alyn 027 446 5275
