17 February  Kahurangi tops Nina Sawicki

A love of the Kahurangi tops drew Nina back to venture across the peaks and ridges. On this trip she started with an undiagnosed stress fracture of her femur, and the party struggled to find water. Nina (a GP) will discuss medical tips for the 'mature tramper'.

24 February  Adventures with Victoria and Emilie Bruce

Join mother–daughter duo Victoria and Emilie for an evening of stories from Victoria’s first book Adventures with Emilie, their new book Emilie Walks Te Araroa — the tale of Emilie’s journey at just seven years old — and the long journeys in remote backcountry that followed.
