Long Weekend of 30th January - 1st February 2021 FULL

A beautiful favourite in the Kaimanawa range

Long Weekend of 30th January - 1st February 2021

A challenging tramp in the Kaimanawa ranges

Sunday 24th January 2021

A bit of a climb and some beautiful Coromandel scenery

This is a wonderful section of native bush on the road to Kawhia. It stretches across both sides of the road and we can visit both. This would be a great opportunity to learn the names of some common, and some less frequently seen plants, ferns and fungi. Perhaps even a few birds! If we are lucky someone may bring along a few reference books for instant knowledge. The park is managed by the Hamilton Junior naturalists group so the tracks are well-maintained and provide access to most of the area. This would be a very suitable trip for children

Weekend of 16th - 17th January 2021

A Pirongia loop weekend 

Happy New Year to you all.

This is a very social occasion that requires no bookings and very little effort…. BUT: we had better plan on doing some walking. My suggestion is a wander around the rose beds to admire and smell the roses, then amble amongst the new themed gardens afterwards. Let’s meet at the band rotunda near the childrens’ playground (note: for children!) about 5.30pm. BYO almost everything -. such as a chair, food and refreshments.

Of course, it won’t be raining, but if it is, we’ll cancel the event
