Wanganui Tramping Club members joined us yesterday on a trip to the Mt Mike plane crash site in the Tararua Range.
We found the wreckage of the RNZAF Lockheed Ventura that, very sadly, crashed in 1946 with the loss of all crew members. They were carrying out meteorological work when the plane went down.

Who would have thought the Newlands neighbourhood would be home to so many bush walks, reserves and parks?
A surprisingly good spot for the urban tramper.

Up Te Whiti Riser today, across the top to Point Howard and back to Te Whiti Park past Gracefield and Waiwhetū Stream. A good stroll for 19 of us. And some glorious views of Wellington Harbour and beyond.

Photos from the introductory trip today crossing the Orongorongo River, climbing up beside Goat Stream and sidling around to South Saddle.
A fantastic day.

Try out a Hutt Valley Tramping Club introductory tramp on Sunday 18 October.

We have two options for different levels of experience and fitness. Orongorongo Valley/Turere Lodge is mostly on the flat and relatively easy. Orongorongo Valley/Goat Stream is a longer, more challenging trip with some off-track travel.

HVTC offers
* Beautiful outdoor destinations
* Safe, well-organised trips
* Friendly, experienced trampers

After a year, it's about time we celebrated our wonderful still-new Toyota minibus. It's taken us to mountains, rivers, and lakes. We've used it for tramping, planting, and restocking our Ruapehu lodge. Long trips. Hutt Valley trips. Wherever we go, we love it.
Looking forward to many more trips.
