Whangaruru Tramping Group

Kia ora, apologies for this Very Belated post to share quite old news. But to let all page followers know, in case some hadn't already heard, the club has hung up it's tramping boots.
A dwindling choice of local tracks due to closures because of kauri dieback, several key regular walkers moving away, and lack of new young blood keen to take over the coordinating, were all factors to the decision.
Thanks to everyone who joined in, and most especially many huge thanks to our fantastic volunteer organisers over the years for all their extra legwork in finding special places to visit, several on private property, taking numerous phone calls, emails & messages to coordinate the walks , all while welcoming any newbies or visitors warmly.
We hope you all keep getting out on the trails that are open, and carry on enjoying this special area.
Have a great summer!

The groups walk at Huruiki on Wednesday 15 November

A small group did a cruise in the Kaipara harbour stayed the night in Dargaville then cruised back. A great trip would thoroughly recommend it.

Glorious day to visit the bluebells at Rowlands Park Kerikeri and Marsden Cross. Just a small but happy group on Wed 4th October.

Today we revisited Te P**i after long absence a great display of clematis in bloom but Kōwhai not so good. A very enjoyable walk great bush walking some beautiful views. Thank you Chris and Alan for leading us.

Great to tramp at Mimiwhangata on Wed 23rd August. It was a little boggy in some places but always such a beautiful place to be outdoors with good friends.

Tramp at Helena Bay Estate on 9th August. Thanks to our great guide Wayne for a wonderful day.

We had a good turn out for our walk on the Pukenui Forest Loop we managed to dodge the showers but not the mud.

A great walk at Ngaiotonga with beautiful views. Thank you Jill for your photos I will add mine now so Roberto features in some.
