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 organise trips, check out the full and abbreviated 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.
Bushball
Overnight 3-4 hours each way
Sorry guys, this'll involve a short walk and carrying alcohol on your backs like we did back in 'Nam. It'll be worth it though for the drinking in a never-drunk-there-before location.
Mt Bealey
Medium Daytrip, 6-8hours return
Snowskills Required!
A steep rocky track heads up a spur through foret to the open tops. It then follows the ridgeline south and west over low peak to the summit of Mt Bealey (1836m)
