Join us twice a week, every Wednesday and Thursday, as we embark on thrilling tramping adventures, with occasional weekend getaways and multi-day tramps that will leave you in awe. For those who prefer two wheels over two feet, keep an eye out for our cycling trips that we organize from time to time.
For tramps are 7.30 am on Wednesday and 8.00 am on Thursday, unless noted otherwise under the particular tramp. The van will leave promptly at the appointed time. The letter in brackets, for example. (A), relates to the van recovery rate.

Fit:
Can be over 6 hours duration, tramping on either formed tracks or off track routes, river crossings, steep terrain, snow conditions or high altitudes.
