Baring Head Conservation Trip
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club

Zealandia Boundary Fence
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club

NZ Sub Antarctic Islands
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- Aimee visited the Sub-Antarctic Islands and Antarctica in January 2020 and writes about the part of her journey that fascinated her the most – the wildlife.

Two Thumb Range
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- As is a common occurrence, this trip started life as three days of perfect weather camping in the basin below the Dasler Pinnacles and attempting to climb one of the Pinnacles.
