Tramping Reports Wednesday 2010 Jun 16 to Tuesday 2010 Jun 22

Wednesday: Bruce & Kerry Popplewell ran an Easy trip to the Old Five Mile. Twelve members traced the Old Five Mile Track, in fine weather, from the Catchpool carpark almost to the top of Jacob's Ladder before joining the Orongorongo Track to avoid the many windfalls in the last section. After lunch at Macs Hut the party returned to the carpark along the Orongorongo Track.

John Hill led 9 members on a Medium walk to climb Kapakapanui. They emerged from clouds to the top of Kapakapanui where they had lunch. Also above cloud level were the snowy peaks of the Southern Crossing, and the Kaikouras. It was dead still.

Saturday:

Glenys Evans's trip to the Maunganui area was cancelled for lack of interest.

Sunday:

Bruce & Kerry Popplewell led a party of 4 members and 2 non-members on an Easy Otari Skyline walk. Weather was cold, but mostly dry. Much to the party's surprise, when going down the Blue Track, at the junction with the track coming up from the cemetery, they discovered a freshly cut track sidling round to the north and back to the Skyline. Afternoon tea at the Troup picnic area.

Total 25 members and 2 non members
