Wilding Pine Update

Just Di Reid (NTC) and I on Tuesday 20 September….but we managed a decent haul.  Quite a few in the northern most tip near the Lakes Carpark and then a few more on the north-eastern slopes of the second, smaller lake.  I took the poisoning gear and dealt to a few larger ones too (> 6in diameter).

We remarked that we really have made a difference over the last year – the pines are much tougher to find now and that is a mark of our progress.

Our next scheduled day is Friday 14th October.

Best regards
Graham Leech

Labour Weekend Tramp – Sat 22-Sun 23 October

It has  been decided that the tramp over Labour Weekend will not be a three night tramp as originally planned.  It has been changed to an overnighter to Rocks Ahead Hut starting from Makahu Saddle. This is due to some members only wanting to spend two days out, and the liklihood that there will be many others in the Kaweka Forest Park. The Tramp Registration Form has been amended.

Revised Tramp List

We have updated the Tramp List. It now includes the Kaimai tramp at the end of October, into November.Trip List July to December 2022 V2

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.
