Lodge Update – Our Maunga – December 2020
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club

Back to nature in the Ruahines
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- We were all ready for a weekend away and the best excuse is the opportunity to get back into nature. We arrived Friday night with a relaxing 30 minute walk to Alice Nash Memorial Heritage Hut.

The Haunting of Iron Gate Hut
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- I am not a superstitious man, but even I am loath to tempt fate by venturing out, away from civilization, on All Hallow’s Eve.

- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
