We are a small, friendly Club which has been tramping around New Zealand since 1978. We run trips every second weekend, varying between day long, extended day and weekend trips.

Our day trips can vary widely, from nice leisurely bush walks to strenuous tramps into the more rugged regions of our local ranges and are graded accordingly. Day trips are a good way to start tramping.

The desire to visit areas of interest further afield brought about the’ extended day’ trip. On such trips we leave on Saturday afternoon or evening, and stay at, or near, our destination which enables us to get an early start for our tramp on the Sunday.

Weekend trips are evenly balanced between easy and strenuous ones. We usually depart at 6.00pm on Friday night, or sometimes early on a Saturday morning, and travel to our destination. The rest of the weekend is spent away from civilization, enjoying the many recreational activities in which our club is involved.

Our website has up to date information on our up-coming trips as well as the estimated costs for each one, see Where we're Going.

The Club also arranges social activities several times a year. These could involve a guest speaker, a presentation by one of our club members who has travelled somewhere special, or a pot-luck or restaurant meal.

If you would like to come out tramping with us please contact the trip leader of the tramp you are interested in. They will be able to give you more details about the tramp and advise if any special gear is recommended.

We are always pleased to welcome new faces and will do our best to ensure you enjoy them as much as we do.
