Work/study/life getting you down? Wanna become part of a team achieving something amazing? Got an itch to bag a Tararua hut or two? Only going to do one tramp this year? THIS IS IT When: 24-26 September 2010 Where: Everywhere in the Tararuas What: The club will try and get someone to every hut in the Tararuas that weekend It was done ...

Winter 06 saw the rare convergence of bomber snowfall, fine weather and a weekend.

Crampons would have been nice as we grovelled down to Powell Hut on hard ice and in strong wind in winter 06.

Ben Clark heads off along the ridge between Isobelle and Holdsworth.  The snow was surprisingly crisp by Tararua standards and steps had to be hacked into the ice in a few places.

The latest version of the popular Powell Hut, located at the bush edge on Mt Holdsworth. Sleeps: 40 plus. Heating: Gas heaters. Camping: Not near the hut, you would have to go up the ridge towards Holdsworth.

Booking is required for this roadend facility.  It is located beyond the carpark at Mt Holdsworth. Sleeps: A million?? Heating: Potbelly. Camping: Almost unlimited.
