Big Rata Tree
Sunday 3 July 2022
Leader: Tony Quayle
Back in March, when we last visited the giant rata tree, several members were disappointed it clashed with their being away on South Island tramping trips. The perfect excuse to do it again, and with significantly greater numbers: 21, up from 8 in March.
Timber Trail Biking
Matariki 24-26 June 2022
Leader: Paula Richardson
On the Friday morning of our new Matariki public holiday (yahoo - another long weekend for tramping trips!) we all set out for the Timber Trail, an 82km bike trail in the Pureora Forest.
Sayers Hut
Queen's Birthday 4-5 June 2022
Leader: Mark Robertson
Following the almost compulsory coffee stop we arrived at the road end to be greeted by a sign board saying 2 1/5 hours to our destination. Great, a nice easy trip, so on that thought we started off into a typical Tararua trip. Steeply up one side then down the other with very little flat land in between, before arriving 4 hours later. Whoever put up that sign board got it wrong.
Kaweka J Circuit
Queen's Birthday 3-5 June 2022
Leader: Peter Davis
I love the Kaweka Range, it is always a nice change from the Tararua and Ruahine Ranges where we do the bulk of our North Island tramping.
Trelissick Park – Tinakori Hill
Sunday 29 May 2022
Leader: Owen Cox
This was a trip using public transport. We got off the train at Ngaio and then walked up for morning coffee at the local café. After that we wandered down and followed a short stretch of footpath to Trelissick Park.
Otaki Forks – Parawai Lodge
Sunday 15 May 2022
Leader: Owen Cox
This trip was a hut check and spruce up for Parawai Lodge at Otaki Forks.
Great Barrier Island
14-21 May 2022
Leader: Dave Cox
Captain James Cook charted the New Zealand Coast as part of his 1768-1771 expedition to observe the transit of Venus across the Sun. He named this island Great Barrier in 1769 for the shelter and protection it provides to the Hauraki Gulf from the Pacific Ocean.
