From the President…in February
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- It’s almost the end of summer but hopefully we’ve got plenty of that lovely stable autumn weather to come. This is always the time of year I start to try and squeeze in all the tramping trips I planned for actual summer which never happened so I’m looking forward to a busy March in the ... Read more

Blue Lake Hut
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- Our target for the weekend was Blue Lake Hut, nestled in the Nelson Lakes National Park next to reputedly the clearest water in the world – Blue Lake with 80 meters of visibility.

Alpha Hut via Quoin Ridge
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- I had never been to Hutt Forks in the Tararua Forest Park so I was interested when I saw that this trip to Alpha Hut would go there on the way. I didn’t know much about Quoin Ridge but it didn’t look too bad on the map. Tash had to pull out of leading so ... Read more

Paua Hut
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- Paua Hut has over the last few years looked a bit tired and forlorn – the outside appeared shabby and the inside was getting a bit grubby. Clearly some TLC was needed. A club maintenance trip was included in the schedule for January but only attracted a small number of helpers. Nonetheless the trip went ... Read more
