Trip Reports
25 -26 June 2016
On a cold Friday night eleven trampers arrived to a cosy warm batch at Lake Kaniere thanks to Claire and Sergey arriving early and lighting the fire. Over supper and a lot of laughs we decided that most of the group would attempt Mt Tuhua with two opting for the Kaniere Water race walkway.

We had a great turn out for this day trip, 14 trampers. Leaving Christchurch and arriving at the Mt Grey car park it was decided that we would all tramp up the Maukatere zig zag track to the trig on the top of Mt Grey.
23 -24 January 2016
It was a leisurely 8am start to our Saturday morning with our first stop at McDonalds for a coffee before even leaving Christchurch. The morning was warm and the six of us were feeling excited about the trip ahead, only Vesna had done this trip before so we were headed into unknown territory and looking forward to it.
11 - 15 November 2015
If you’re a tramper, it’s one of those trips you just have to do. We chose Show Weekend which gave us one day of Public Holiday but a couple days of annual leave was still required for most of us.
26 -27 September 2015
Tarn Hut is located in the Lees Valley, which involves an hour’s twisty drive from the turnoff near Ashley Gorge to the car park. Claire obviously enjoyed the last couple of km's negotiating the mud, puddles and ruts as she got out of the car beaming. Sergey, Claire and Mike in one vehicle, with Bill, myself and Vesna in the other. We were walking by 10am reaching Lilburn Stream, which was easily crossable, an hour later.
