Napier Tramping Club is 40 years old this year. The club’s first tramp was to Kaweka J, in the Kaweka Forest Park on October 5, 1974.

NTC has celebrated each anniversary with a club tramp to Kaweka J, weather permitting, and will do it again on October 4. Current and former members are invited to celebrate the 40-year milestone, either on the tramp or at the club’s anniversary dinner – or both!

The dinner takes place on the evening of October 4 in the King George Hall, Hill Road, Bayview, starting at 6pm.

Contact Julia Mackie on email: julia@napiertrampingclub.org.nz or call 06 844 0540, if you would like to attend or find our more about the anniversary events.

Are you displaying the iTramp bumper sticker? The motif doesn’t replace the logo created in 1974, but is intended to promote the club. Stickers are available from Julia Mackie, and business cards from John Dobbs. Let’s show ourselves off to the world!

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.
