Lake Colenso
Did a fairly hard tramp to Lake Colenso in the Ruahines by a slightly roundabout route.
Camped at the road end on Friday. Went the long way to the lake on Saturday and returned on Sunday with some fun navigation by compass only through thick cloud over the tops and without tracks.

Tauherenikau/Waiohine

Went for a little run from Kaitoke to Totara Flats to meet Meg, Andre, Cole and Lane. Stayed the night and had a casual wander back out Walls Whare. I haven’t done a trip on so much flat for a long time. In fact, with all the sailing and stuff, I haven’t managed many trips

“Led” a fit trip with the WTMC from Mangahao, to Barra Creek, up a spur to Dundas Ridge, past Arete and down Gable End to Ohau. On Friday night we walked about half way to Harris Creek and camped there. Saturday we continued on to Barra Creek and veered east along the stream to the

I went for a very gentle tramp with Ants, Dave and Matt. We were going to go to Te Matawai originally but ended up just going to Waiopehu. It was quite a fun trip and nice catching up with everybody.
Levin to Masterton Mid Crossing

Originally an 81km 60MJ trip, I shortcut it slightly when I managed to get a ride over part of the road portion. This was a bit of an unplanned trip and I didn’t have any supplies on-hand. I booked a bus ride to Levin in the afternoon and went to the supermarket when I got
Tramp Roulette TR2

I went for the second ever Tramp Roulette, accompanied by Mario, Meg and Rochelle. We met at Mario’s place in Lower Hutt for the roll. We opted to roll a “yellow” goal, which is supposedly a 2 day trip, and we ended up with 1806095E 5481168N. I was a little disappointed because it was right
Tauherenikau trip

We did a 1½ day trip from Woodside. The plan was to go up to Mt Reeves, along the Tauherenikau ridge, head to RP770 and turn off down the spur that comes out on the Tutuwai track just to the south of Bates Stream. It was a last minute choice of mine because of weather

Went for the first ever Tramp Roulette with Mario and Rowena.
We rolled E1784147 N5444224, which turned out to be a location not far from the track along the Rimutuka rail trail.

Tararuas Run

This weekend I did a run from the Marchant Road end. I was intending to head over the main range and meet up with Rowena, Ross, Gavin, Steve and Jenny at Totara Flats. Just as I was coming around the Dress Circle a nasty front poured over the tops and I found myself flat on
Trip to Mitre/Tarn Ridge

This was a three day trip. The plan was to do a loop, but we got weathered in pretty badly. We ended staying put at Tarn Hut for the day on Sunday and headed out on Monday when the wind dropped a little bit. The wind was still strong enough to be flipping us upside

A northern crossing. Some very chilly weather up by Arete and some really rough track below from Arete Forks. Great trip.
