Tramping Reports Wednesday 2009 Feb 24 to Tuesday 2009 Mar 02

Wednesday: John Thomson's E/M to Hutt Forks had 16 of varying ability (2 non- members) but was it seems much enjoyed by all. The varying bush was resplendent in the sunshine.

Dave Currie led a BBB to Jubilee Park. 8 members enjoyed a mixture of sun and shade on a nice day.

Lyn Kelly's bike trip Plimmerton - Pukerua Bay - The Track didn't go due to lack of interest.

Weekend:

Liz Martin led an E/M trip to South Ohau Hut. 5 members enjoyed lovely weather. The river was up a bit on Saturday which made it interesting getting round some of the big rocks. River down on Sunday, and descending made it easier.

Barry Durrant's trip Dennan - Penn Creek - Otaki Gorge was cancelled due to lack of interest.

Saturday:

Neil Challand led a M trip up Marchant Stream, up to Dobsons and return to Kiwi Ranch. 9 hours at a slow pace on a lovely day; very slippery in the stream. 9 members, 1 non-members.

Family:

Josh Tabor's trip to Kapiti Island was enjoyed by all, a lovely day. 10 members.

Sunday:

David Castle led a M/F trip the length of Whakanui Creek. Weather was fine and sunny. Travel was reasonable with mostly non-slippery rocks and only a couple of serious obstacles. But the shingle of yesteryear is mostly gone and been replaced with boulders. An enjoyable day and a creek well worth doing. 3 members.

Alan Wright's M trip to Sheridan Creek did not run due to lack of interest.

Michael Bartlett led an E walk on Belmont Regional Park open day which attracted 4 members and 16 non-members. Fine weather, windy on the tops. Three moderate climbs. All enjoyed themselves, although many had some difficulty with stream crossings.

Total 55 members and 19 non members
