Mount Reeves – Tararua Forest Park
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- Due to poor weather, the plan for this trip ended up changing quite a bit. Originally, this was meant to be a Howletts Hut overnight trip in the Ruahine Ranges, but due to this walk having a decent portion of ridge travel and river crossings, we decided to do a loop walk a little closer ...

Maungahuka Hut – a tramp with a different purpose
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- Maungahuka Hut is my favourite Tararua hut, and the hut that inspired my tramping journey (see my report here on why). So when Tony and I heard from Derrick Field, from Greater Wellington Backcountry Network (GWBN), that Maungahuka Hut needed the tap to be fixed after months of being broken, and a new hut book, ...

Seaward Kaikoura Range

Greigs Hut – Leatham Conservation Area
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- This trip started with a long hot wait on a Friday afternoon to get on the ferry to Picton. After several sailing time changes, we were glad to see the ship arrive in Wellington Harbour, and even gladder to get on and get settled. I made good use of the wait time, however, signing up ...

Opened in 1924, this was New Zealand’s first large hydro power station. The road is very windy and it seemed to take a very long time to reach the ... Read more
