Where we’re headed in 2025

The first six-months’ trips have been planned, and you can take a look by heading over to the updated Tramp List. New users can also use the list to discover the club’s automated booking system, just by clicking on any destination.

Middle Hill Hut has been renovated by a Back Country Trust team

The exterior, with fireplace removed and a new wood burner installed and new roof and windows. A new woodshed also installed (see left side of the photo).

Wilding pine update

The next trip will be on Wednesday 19 March. Meet at Fernhill just up the Taihape Rd at 7.50am, to leave at 8am.  We’ll likely go to Kohinga this time.

If you know others who are interested, get them to sign up on the Trust’s website.

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.
