22 September   Te Araroa: Bluff to Queenstown

Robert and Carolyn Tristam walked the South Island Te Araroa north bound (NOBO) from Bluff from December 2025. With several side quests along the way, they then walked from Auckland Airport north to Cape Reinga. This talk will cover the Southland section from Bluff to Queenstown, areas less traversed by Wellingtonians.

29 September   Sailing away in retirement

Caryl and Keith Turner took early retirement from their senior government positions, bought a yacht (named Intrepid) in the United States and spent the next four years sailing across the Atlantic, around the Mediterranean and through the Pacific.

06 October   One boulder too many

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

13 October   Hiking in the UK and Italy

Murray Powell and his daughter hiked in the UK and Italy for six days around the tip of Cornwall, and for 10 days in the Apennines from La Verna to Assisi. With a few days in London and Florence thrown in for good measure.

10 October   Ferny Gair Conservation Area Sarah Fisher

Hidden within the rugged terrain of Marlborough’s Ferny Gair Conservation Area lies a local mystery: a lone cave icon sitting silently on the topographical map below Mt Harkness. Ferny Gair Conservation Area is a surprising hidden gem complete with diverse terrain and amazing bird life. But it is also the source of a 15-year land access dispute that features “magic carpets” and a hut marooned with no legally protected public access. Come hear about Sarah's two trips into Ferny Gair Conservation Area.

03 November   In Nank’s footsteps

Since 2014, Dave Bamford, John Wild and Paul Maxim have endeavoured to keep the legacy of John Nankervis’ trips alive by going back to the mountains with other regulars from Nank’s yesteryears. They will tease out some of these outings and what Nank meant to each of them. Many attendees will have their own memories which they may also like to briefly recall. A fun talk down memory lane.
