If you wish to lead one of the suggested trips (or your own trip idea) please email trips@cutc.org.nzand let us know. We are often short of people willing to lead trips, check out the full andabbreviated tripleaders guides for more info.
Weather
Tramps are weather dependent , before you go be sure to check the forecast at www.metvuw.comor www.metservice.co.nz
Gear
Make sure you have the necessary gear before going out. It is MUCH better to be over prepared, then under prepared if things turn to custard. Check out the gearlocker and the HIGHLY recomended gearlists (day overnight) or ask a commitee member/experienced NZ tramper for more info.
A guide for the tramp grades can be viewed here.
