Tauherenikau/Waiohine
Apr 3rd 2011
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

Jan 30th 2011
“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.

Dec 12th 2010
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

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

Nov 14th 2010
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

Oct 12th 2010
Lots of mules, yaks and poo. I was finally feeling a little bit of energy so I ran most of this route. It was quite slippery clay towards the bottom. After arriving I took a quick walk up a rather steep track to Lukla airport. There were three bakeries. The German Bakery on the far

Oct 11th 2010
This was a short recovery day. No extension trips again. It rained all day for the first time. My Favourite Thing Today The mule trains were quite interesting and posed a small problem to begin with, but with a little assertiveness it was quite easy to move around them without too much delay and then
