AGM – May 5
Kelvin Shaw was elected as our Club President. Geoff Donkin is the Secretary. See the contacts page for the full details of this year’s NTC committee.

Safety in the Mountains

We have recently seen two expensive rescues involving club members – and none of the incidents occurred “in the mountains”.

The club has an MSC safety guidance booklet costing only $5. Contact Sue Martin, Club Librarian, to get your copy.


Did you know that our privately funded Hawke’s Bay rescue helicopter costs almost $4000 for every hour it is in the air?

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.
