Red Hills Ridge
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club

Paua Hut and Mt Matthews
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- I had never stayed in Paua Hut (the club hut in the Orongorongo Valley) and also had not been up Mt Matthews for over four years. When I saw that this tramp required a leader I volunteered.
