Trains Hut
31 October to 1 November 2020
Leader: Pam Glover
A team of 7 set off from Paraparaumu - destination Trains Hut in the Waitotara valley, but not without the obligatory café stop which was at Mint Café in Bulls. The café food and coffee was mouth-watering and once refuelled, we set off to keep our date with Marian and Owen at our prearranged meeting point beside the turnoff from SH3 in the direction of Waitotara.
Blue Range Circuit
Labour Weekend 24-26 October 2020
Leader: Chris Keating
The forecast was for light rain and northwesterly winds rising to gale in the Tararuas. Our intention was to travel up Table Ridge and south along the tops to either Mid King or Mitre on the Sunday, but the prospects for doing that were not looking good.
Wellington Southern Walkway
Saturday 24 October 2020
Leader: Dave Cox
Seven Parawais began the day in Wellington by catching the train to Wellington station, and from there we immediately started walking towards Oriental Bay, where the Southern Walkway begins.
Ski Trip to Whakapapa
11-16 October 2020
Leader: Bryan Wild
14 of us travelled to Whakakpapa for a late season romp in the snow. The plan was a mixture of skiing and a bit of tramping, but all up ..... just to have some fun ..... which we certainly did.
Rangiwahia - Deadmans
19-20 September 2020
Leader: Chris Keating
The rain appeared on the windscreen as we got closer to Rangiwahia on the Saturday morning. However the rain eased off as we set out from the carpark up to Rangiwahia Hut and we were soon taking jackets off.
Triangle Hut

Leader: Tony Quayle
Most unusually for the Parawais these days, this was an all-male trip.
