Six of us met at the entrance to the Otari-Wilton Bush on a fine Sunday morning. After crossing Kaiwharawhara stream it was a steady uphill walk until we stopped to admire the 800-year-old rimu. This is truly an impressive tree, and is surrounded by some lovely native bush.

Waitangi day saw 8 Parawai cyclists riding up to Te Horo in search of a cup of coffee … whilst on the ride we enjoyed the usual banter and chat as we basked in the warm early morning temperatures.

Not wanting to squander the good weather, a trip to Totara Flats was quickly and thoroughly organised.
Leader: Elisabeth Hynes
Ten of us left Kāpiti at 8:00 am on Friday morning to give Makaretu Hut a thorough clean as part of the Love Our Huts campaign.
Leader: Peter Davis
The “Love our Huts” campaign was the catalyst for this weekend.

We met at Solly's house bright and fairly early, ready for our bike trip.

Twelve keen trampers gathered at the Whareroa Farm carpark on a warm Sunday morning. It was very encouraging that nine of the group hadn’t previously climbed Mt. Wainui, and seven were prospective club members.
Leader: Matt Freeland
Nine of us set off in two cars from the school carpark shortly after 8am. At the Ngatiawa Road end we geared up and began the 11 km track with several unbridged river crossings — the water was still running high after the heavy rain over the past few nights. We snapped a quick photo for our 30 Peaks, 30 Rivers challenge before heading up.
