At our next hui on 2026-08-04

Club nights are held on Tuesdays at our clubrooms, opening at 7:10 p.m., with the proceedings starting at 7:30 p.m.

One boulder too many

04 August   One boulder too many Chris Munn

This talk will be given twice at the clubrooms, firstly at 1 pm and again at the usual time of 7:30 pm when it is also online.

The 1 pm time is to test the demand for the occasional lunchtime talk, to tempt Wednesday trampers along who prefer an early Tuesday night, for those who don’t drive at night, or those who are in town during the day but do not want to stay for the 7:30 meeting.

Chris Munn and party travelled down the Wanganui River to Harihari on Te Tai Poutini. Despite the best-laid plans … there was one boulder too many.

Please see our online hui guidance for information on how to attend and for an invitation.

Coming up on Tuesday 2026-08-11
