For an overnight trip it is necessary to contact the leader well in advance of the trip date, to allow for organisation of food groups and trip transport.

Trips are graded, see the trip grading to decide if the trip is suitable for you. If you are not known to the trip leader, they will need to interview you to gain some idea of your tramping experience and level of fitness. The leader decides who is eligible to go on a trip.

We have regular day walks on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. In order to be on the mailing list of the trips that interest you, please contact the Trip Organiser of the day concerned. For some activities we have email newsgroups, please subscribe to the group that interests you.

If you wish to lead a trip you may find it useful to discuss it with the Chief Guide or the Trip Organiser of the activity that interests you.

For information about where the tracks are located contact the Chief Guide, read Tararua Footprints, search our trip reports. Here is a link to the Walking Access Commission, and its mapping system WAMS, and its Outdoor Access Code

The Greater Wellington Enviromental Monitoring and Research site has information about windspeed, rainfall, and much, much more. MetVUW is useful for long range forecasts.

Day Trips

Boots must be worn - other footwear is unsuitable unless the trip leader agrees otherwise. Always take parka, warm clothing, drink, lunch, snack food (chocolate or dried fruit) and torch. Consider the need for other Weekend Gear items. A change of clothes for the homeward journey is often a good idea.

Leadership guidance

Please review the following information if you are a trip leaders, or participating on a trip.

Overdue Trips

Note to parents, relatives or friends of members on club trips: Should a party be late in returning, please do not worry unduly as this happens often and there are probably good reasons for their delay. If you are in doubt please contact the Chief Guide, a Tramping Organiser or the President.

Safety

See the seven rules of outdoor safety. Ensure that every trip is planned properly: If you have any concerns about safety on a club trip please contact the Chief Guide or President.

Trampers First Aid

Have a read on the Bushcraft pages for basic Trampers' First Aid. Take a lightweight first aid manual and a first aid kit that you know how to use. People take kits that suit their level of knowledge, so here are links to Nina's and Dave's first aid kits.

Incidents and Accidents

If a club trip is involved in or with an incident or accident, please contact the President. The President may request a written report of the circumstances and actions taken for circulation to the Incident Review Committee. Any 111 call or PLB activation must be reported to the President. A fatality on a trip must be reported to the President at the earliest opportunity.
