I'm nominating Rob and myself's efforts on the Libretto Range in Arthurs Pass.  I'm pretty sure we hadn't the foggiest where we were from the moment we left Faust until we got back below the cloud line.  Fortunately we had a spiritual guide in the form of a hare leading us the whole way.  That said when you compare this to the fact ...

Do you fancy yourself as a bit of a budding graphic designer? Or have you got any artistic talent at all? VUWTC wants your skills to help design the look and feel of the flashy new VUWTC website!  It'd be great if you've had some web design experience before but if you haven't that's not a big problem since you'll be working with a web ...

Hey all, Is anyone planning on coming in to Bushball a bit later in the day? I have a friend who is keen to come but can't leave Wellington till around 4. If you're planning on coming in later on I'd really appreciate it if you got in touch with me. Thanks!    

Hey hey, A few of us are planning an awesome weekend exploring The Forgotten World Highway (43) from Stratford, near Mt. Taranaki, to Taumarunui this weekend. There's plenty of waterfalls, bush walks, quaint little towns, bridges, and early NZ history to check out as well as a few great views.  The plan is to leave on Friday night ...

Is anyone keen to head into the hills this weekend? I've got two months and about 5 trips worth of huts left in the Tararua's to bag. They range of easy day walks to intense full weekend trips. Let me know if you want to go and have a bit of fun in the hills this weekend.

Unfortunately theforecast for the weekend was bleak so a backup plan was thrown together. And sowe found ourselves setting out on the Saturday morning for a leisurely strollto Roaring Stag via Herepai.  Despite abit of drizzle the ...

Hut bagging is the attempt at visiting as many huts aspossible. Often hut baggers will run a trip to a particular destination just sothey can say they've visited a particular hut. VUWTC has an irregular traditionwhere it tries to bag every hut in the Tararua's over the course of a singleweekend. This is no easy feat since according to the DOC ...

Hi all, I details for this event. Make sure you bring along a camera to document your successful completion of the challenges. Extra points will be awarded for costumes and creativity. 

Tonights fun run is kind of canceled since we're heading away at 4:30 for a serious trip up Brooklyn Hill, as such no one is leading a run at 6:30 from the water whirler. Sorry for the late notice. 

Hi team, I've just received this years FMC (Federated Mountain Club's) cards. This is what you need if you want to get a discounted annual hut pass. They'll be available at all meetings from now on. Cheers
