Our 50th Anniversary

You can now book for our celebration dinner and the traditional Kaweka J tramp on the Anniversary website page.  Each month we will post a photo from past tramp reports.

The picture below was taken on June 14 2008.

Wilding pine update
Graham Leech reports:

Hi all, Please see link to a recent article.

https://www.wildingpines.nz/news-and-stories/news-and-stories/a-day-in-the-hills-with-the-hawkes-bay-wilding-pines-community-group/

I can also advise that we have recently been successful in receiving our first grant (from the PanPac Environmental Trust) – this will enable us to fund the purchase of our own equipment rather than begging, stealing and borrowing!

Our next volunteer day isn’t until July as Giles and I are both outside NZ currently.

Thanks for all your help!

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.
