Tell everybody u TRAMP!

NTC 40th Anniversary Tramps and Dinner, Saturday October 4.

The Kaweka J tramp will leave from the Park Island (Shrimpton Field) carpark at 7:30am. Please note the change in time. Transport will be by hired van, and petrol money for the return trip to Makahu Saddle $20. We expect to be back in Napier by 3 pm. The estuary tramp will start from Humber Street carpark, by the kayak hire outlet. This will leave at 10:00am and take approximately 2hrs.

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.

The invitation has now been sent out to all club members (August 17th). The invite is attached. NTC invite 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!

Brent Stephenson our speaker on Thursday September 4th, was excellent. His book is for sale, and I can thoroughly recommend it. Contact him through his website Wrybill Birding Tours.

Tell everybody uTRAMP!
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!

    I believe the unknown tramper in the photo on your website is Ray Slavin.

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.
