Dundas Hut Bagging Trip
21-23 March 2025
Leader: Glen Cattermole
Three of us signed up for the tramp. Our intention was a quick there-and-back sojourn along the tops to Herepai Hut. However, it's never quite that simple in the Tararua Ranges.
Trip To Mid King Biv And Beyond
14-15 March 2025
Leader: Owen Cox
The genesis of this adventure is a little different to most. Kate had planned a leisurely 5-day trip along the southern main range beginning and ending at Otaki Forks. The tramp sounded perfect to me, but sadly it was not to be.
Routeburn - Caples Track
11-15 March 2025
Leader: Nisa Promchot, Matt Freeland
Day 1 Routeburn Shelter carpark to Routeburn Falls Hut (9km)
City To Sea And Southern Walkway
Sunday 9 March 2025
Leader: Susan Robertson
The Tararua Challenge provided an opportunity for club members to explore some of the more remote and demanding areas of the Tararuas.
Snowy Hut - Eastern Waiotauru
Sunday 2 March 2025
Leader: Owen Cox
This trip is one of the hut bagging ones. Originally down as a three day trip we pared it back to a day trip to Snowy Hut as both Kime and Winchcombe were bagged on earlier trips, leaving Snowy as an outlier.
Cone/Tutuwai (part of the Tararua Challenge)
1-2 March 2025
Leader: Elisabeth Hynds
Five Parawai ladies set off from Kapiti for Waiohine carpark with a coffee stop along the way. At this point, on this gorgeous summer day, a serious discussion ensued around how very pleasant it would be to spend the day at the Martinborough fair then camp at Lake Ferry. However as this was to be a Tararua hut bagging trip and we might get a telling off, on we drove to the roadend.
Eastern Hutt Hut
Sunday 23 February 2025
Leader: Glen Cattermole
I was very excited to see this trip on the trip list, as I have wanted to do this trip for some time but have been reluctant to undertake it alone. So on the morning of 23 February, two of the most intrepid and keen members of the club (though not necessarily the fittest) met to set off on our wonderful and long-anticipated adventure!
Roaring Stag
20-22 February 2025
Leader: Dave Cox
On a sunny Thursday morning our two cars converged on the Eketahuna café for caffeine and refreshments before heading for the Putara road end.
