Anniversary Tramp, 2014

October 4, 2014 by Julia Mackie Leave a Comment

Saturday, October 4 2014
Anniversary Tramp
Kaweka Forest Park, Map BJ37

Kaweka Road was closed, which ruled out the proposed anniversary tramp to Kaweka J. The weather had not played ball, and snow and high winds were forecast.

Our alternate option, after much discussion was Middle Hill Hut.

Here are the pictures, which tell the story.

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.
