Join Mike for an exploratory trip and panoramic views from Hauraki Gulf’s
newest attraction (600 years old!). With a good knowledge of botany and endless
energy, a day out with Mike is always one to remember. Please support DOC’s
efforts to make Rangitoto a pest free island by checking for stowaways of rats,
mice & ants that can harm native wildlife by checking your shoes & bags for seeds
and dirt before departing. Poison has been dropped on the island. Please do not
touch the bait. Please ring leader if intending to meet at either the City or
Devonport wharfs. Boat fare $25 adult, $12.50 child, seniors $22.50.

A mystery circuit in the Lake Wainamu – Bethells area.
It is still a bit of a mystery to the leader as well at the moment
but there are a few options including a look at what Eric referred
to as Plum Pudding before continuing on to do a circuit. The day
will be about a 6.5hr circuit with a section of moderate/hard
difficulty with hills and mud and it might be a good idea to bring
your leggings and a long sleeve top for one section.
Note that due to concerns about the spreading of Kauri Die Back
disease this trip replaces the Across Northern Waitakere trip proposed
in the 6 month calendar.

Tramping Trips
Day tramping trips are held almost every Sunday, meeting outside the
Post Shop in Glenmall Place, Glen Eden
(map,
map2)
and leaving at 8:30 am, unless otherwise stated in the programme.
Introductory tramping trips are held approximately once a month,
leaving at 9:30 am from outside the Post Shop in Glenmall Place, Glen Eden
(map,
map2)
unless otherwise stated in the monthly magazine.
A weekend tramping trip is organized approximately every 4-6 weeks.
Meeting arrangements are communicated by the trip leader
to participants. Weekend trips do not leave from Glenmall Place.
What to bring on a day tramping trip
- Lunch (including drink) & extra eats (scroggin) to nibble at during the day.
- Waterproof raincoat or parka.
- Woollen/polarfleece jersey/bushshirt and a hat of some kind.
- Footwear; boots are desirable though not essential.
Sandshoes or training shoes will do for a start.
A plastic bag for dirty footwear is handy as many drivers
do not appreciate muddy boots in their car.
- A plastic bag or pack liner. As no pack is waterproof,
a plastic bag will keep the contents dry.
It is a good idea to pack clothing in a plastic bag as well.
- Carry your own medication for any allergies i.e asthma etc.,
and if you have a medical condition please let the leader know.
What to bring on a weekend tramp
Contact the trip leader to find out what you need to take
with you, as the equipment may differ depending on the trip.
