Changes to tramps will be notified on the club website, and the club secretary will email these if advised in time. The trip coordinator should also advise of proposed changes or additions to the programme or if a tramp doesn’t happen because of bad weather, poor numbers, etc. Tramp descriptions, maps, and downloadable GPS data for most tramps, but not all, are located on the club website. Please note that we are a club, not a guided service, you are welcome to join but must be aware of your own limits and bring along your own gear and provisions.
Start Times:
- Wednesday: 7.30 am
