Our 50th Anniversary
We have created a website page where all the information will be placed on events being planned for this celebration. It can be found under ‘History’.

Tramp List
The tramping programme for the first six months of 2024 has been finalised. Head over to the Trip List to see what’s planned.

We have posted another new banner photo. The flowers were photographed in early February on Studholme Saddle.

Wilding pine update
Graham Leech reports:
The next two dates are Tuesday 13 February at The Lakes and Tuesday 12 March at Kohinga (the new block – not far from the Lakes). It’s pure coincidence they are both Tuesdays so sorry for those that can’t do that day of the week – there will definitely be other days later in the year.

Usual plan for both: Meet at Omahu/Fernhill at 8am to share transport; return by 4pm at the latest. Let me know if you are interested in joining us. <graham.leech@afoot.co.nz>

About us

We are a group of like-minded people who love the great outdoors. We tramp mostly in the Hawke’s Bay province, in remote areas such as the Kaweka and Ruahine Ranges; but we also travel longer distances to new places, for longer walks.

The Napier Tramping Club was established in 1974 and has about 70 members. We belong to the Federated Mountain Clubs of NZ Inc (FMC) and run Saturday, full-weekend and Wednesday tramps, every fortnight.

Interested in joining us?

Enjoy the great outdoors, keep fit and get to know others with similar interests.
