Puke Ariki (Haywards Korokoro Traverse) – Belmont Regional Park
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- I had run the Puke Ariki track a few years ago but hadn’t spent much time in Belmont Regional Park since. After doing a day trip with the club to find Tin Hut last year, I remembered what a great walk Puke Ariki was, and how suitable it would be for a club trip. We ... Read more

4-day traverse of the Tre Cime Nature Park – Dolomite Mountains, Italy
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- The Dolomites, in north-east Italy, had been on my radar for as long as I can remember, and although I regularly go to Europe to visit family, it was always hard to fit it in. The opportunity to go finally presented itself in June 2024, due to the public sector job cuts and putting my ... Read more

Putaputa Shelter – Kaitoke Regional Park
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- The Putaputa A-frame shelter in Kaitoke Regional Park had been on my to-do list for a while. (See: Putaputa Shelter) Tantalisingly close to civilisation, but involving either some off-track bush-bashing and a steep descent, or travelling up a gorge (where Putaputa Stream is located). It seemed like the perfect half-day trip. The fact it was ... Read more

Mud, sweat and sour squirms: Waiopehu Hut – Gable End Ridge Loop – Tararua Forest Park
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- I was slouching up against the wall of an Indian takeaways on Kent Terrace when I made the call. A weather bomb had hit the Tararuas, swelling rivers and drowning my dreams of taking my troop of ‘easy-medium’ punters to Mangahao Flats Hut. Instead, I spent the time waiting for my butter chicken pondering an ... Read more

Up, up, up and down, down, down to the river, Upper Makaroro Hut – Ruahine Forest Park
- Wellington Tramping and Mountainneering Club
- After a long drive, broken up with a long wait for our “pre-ordered” burgers in Carterton, we were all pleased to arrive at the Mangleton Road end parking area. The “10 minute” walk-in to Sentry Box Hut took us almost twice the time in our rush to get to the Hut. We had charged ahead ... Read more
