28 July  Tour of Mont Blanc Susan Guscott

Over 11 days in September 2025 Susan did the Tour of Mont Blanc with a small group. She will take you on her journey following one of the world's great long-distance walking routes through France, Italy, and Switzerland. Along the way she'll share the spectacular mountain scenery, the challenges of the trail, and some of the unforgettable experiences that made it so special.


Please see our online hui guidance for information on how to attend and for an invitation.

One boulder too many

04 August   One boulder too many Chris Munn

This talk will be given twice at the clubrooms, firstly at 1 pm and again at the usual time of 7:30 pm when it is also online.

The 1 pm time is to test the demand for the occasional lunchtime talk, to tempt Wednesday trampers along who prefer an early Tuesday night, for those who don’t drive at night, or those who are in town during the day but do not want to stay for the 7:30 meeting.

Chris Munn and party travelled down the Wanganui River to Harihari on Te Tai Poutini. Despite the best-laid plans … there was one boulder too many.
