[CUTC Weekly Email] Term 3, Meeting 3

[Hamish Cumming]

Hey folks!

I hope you all enjoyed our stimulating 'debate' last week! there were a few
raised voices, but we all came away knowing a good chuck more about the
issue.
On the tramping front, I here the Otahake was a rip roaring success, those
hot pools looked rather friendly!

This week we have Honora Renwick coming to regail us with her tramping
stories, Honora is a log time member of the Christchurch tramping club and
will have some great tales.

Next weeks meeting is at Clip n climb, the cost is $10 and you need to sign
up this week so we can book the appropriate number of spaces. Check out

Cheers,

Daniel and Laura.


For the people that have not yet picked up their t-shirts (5 of you), please
pick them up from Volker as soon as possible.
Alan will have the TWALK shirts at the meeting this week as well.

Trips: 2-3 August*
 Cass Lagoon saddle loop <http://www.cutc.org.nz/tripview.php?tripid=43>
A pleasant walk through beech forest on a well formed track. Hamilton Hut
has to be one of the best big huts around. Good views to the upper Waimak
from Lagoon saddle and then the raigieburns from Cass saddle. Do the loop
anticlockwise to ensure you are going gently down hill for most of the time.

 Dome <http://www.cutc.org.nz/tripview.php?tripid=28>
This misnamed peak has very steep south and east faces. The easiest route
begins at the Mingha-Bealy confluence. A ridge is then followed through pts
1484 and 1920 to the summit. The last part is scrambly. A major scree
opposite 'The Spike' gives a quick route back to the Edwards Valley floor.
