SUMMARY:"Ocean To Alps" Biking - Oamaru To Duntroon - Day Trip - Postponed
DESCRIPTION:THIS TRIP HAS BEEN POSTPONED.  IT WILL BE HELD LATER IN THE YEAR.  THE NEW DATE WILLBE ADVISED AS SOON AS IT HAS BEEN DECIDED. \nYou’ve heard of the “Alps to Ocean” bike trail.  Over the last few years the club has completed all (or almost all) of its sections.  Well\, now it’s time to start doing it the other way round and see how things look going that way! \nStaring at the usual finishing point (Oamaru waterfront) we will bike 54 km to Duntroon.  The ride will take us through a variety of scenery – towns\, gardens\, farmland\, roads\, open country – with a mixture of flat bits and hilly sections.  Given the distance\, a reasonable level of bike-fitness will be required – unless you will be on an e-bike! \nThis will bean all-day event\, with some time taken shuttling vehicles at the start and finish.

SUMMARY:Coastal Walk: Timaru South - Day Trip - Postponed until 30/7/22
DESCRIPTION:Postponed until  Saturday 30 July. \nDorothy  has kindly offered to take a walk along a section of the coast not often explored\, just a bit south of Timaru\, and has supplied the following information: \nBeginning at Ellis Road and walking south\, a well-worn path follows along the edge of a farmer’s paddock until the railway line is reached. The path continues\, alternating between beach and cliff-top walking\, to near Pareora.  Views over farmland to the mountains on the western side and the rolling sea on the other make this an enjoyable walk – on a fine day.  As it is exposed\, to have a calm and sunny day is most desirable\, so if the forecast is not good the walk can be rescheduled for a later date.\nTime: 3 to 4 hours return.\nGrade: Easy\nLeader: Dorothy 03 688 1333 \nMany of you are probably familiar with the track south of Timaru to the lighthouse.  This  walk will give you a chance to wander further down the coast\, so please contact Dorothy if you would like to put your name down or would like to know more about it. \nNote: The start time may change\, depending on the conditions on the day.

SUMMARY:Washdyke to Pleasant Point (and return): Biking - Day Trip
DESCRIPTION:Take a leisurely ride along the recently-completed trail from Washdyke to Pleasant Point. Either take your lunch with you or purchase something at “Point”\, where we will find somewhere outside in the sunshine to enjoy it.  For those into it\, sandwich swapping will be allowed! \nAfter lunch we will do the “downhill leg” back to Washdyke. \nThe ride is 13 km each way. It is basically flat\, though there is about a 40 metre difference in elevation between each end. Each leg of the trip will involve about an hour or so on your bike. \nThere is no need to book in for this trip – just turn up at Sir Basil Arthur Park at Washdyke for an 11:00 am departure. If you do want to know more\, though\, feel free to contact the Trip Leader\, Barry\, as below. \nGrade: Easy\nContact: Barry  6885320 / 021 02689877

SUMMARY:Bauchops Hill - Day Trip
DESCRIPTION:Bauchops (Beauchops?) Hill Station is in the Rollesby Valley near Burkes Pass.  The Trip Leader\,  Dorothy\, has been in contact with the farm owner who has very kindly agreed to let us walk across his farm land on this day. Opportunities like this do not come up very often\, especially considering all the other activities occurring on farms during the year. Dorothy has supplied the following information …\nThe station is accessed from the Rollesby Valley Road which runs from Burkes Pass to the Mackenzie Pass Road.\nFrom the farmhouse we will cross a small stream (no wet feet) and climb a little to reach a 4WD track that will take us to the top of the Rollesby Range at around 1200m. It is a steady climb but a ‘there and back’ trip so one could go part way if preferred.\nFrom the top of the range it should be possible to get good views in all directions\, especially over the Mackenzie Country.\nGrade: Moderate\nContact: Dorothy 03 6881333

SUMMARY:French Ridge Hut - Weekend Trip - Cancelled
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This trip has been cancelled\, due to an unfavourable weather forecast.  It is hoped that the trip can be run later in the year\, possibly over the summer months.  A revised date will be notified as soon as possible. \nFrench Ridge Hut is operated by NZ Alpine Club and is located above the West Matukituki Valley\, west of Wanaka.  The hut sits at 1480 metres\, just below the summer snowline (1500 m at this location)\, is located in a sub-alpine zone and offers spectacular views.  It is accessed by a track described by DoC as steep and “challenging”.  Hut fees are $40 per head per night\, payable to NZAC. \nThe route to the hut starts at the Raspberry Creek carpark in the West Matukituki Valley.  The valley floor is followed for 3.5 to 4 hours to Pearl Flat.  After crossing the river (ford or swing bridge) it is another 2.5 to 3.5 hours up the steep ridge track to reach the hut.  This section of the track can be treacherous if conditions are either windy\, wet or snowy\, so the trip will not take place unless conditions are suitable.  (Ben\, the trip organiser will be checking with DoC in Wanaka beforehand so that an informed decision can be made on this.)  From the carpark to the hut the walking distance is 16.2 km. \nAt this stage exact travelling details have not been finalised.  However\, it is likely that those taking will depart Timaru late afternoon or early evening on Friday 9 May\, camp overnight at Raspberry Flat\, then walk up the valley and to the hut the next day.  After one night at the hut the next day will be spent returning to Raspberry Flat then home. \nThis trip will take you to a very scenic area and take you through a variety of terrain – river flats\, bush and a steep ridge.  It will be suitable only for those with sufficient ability\, fitness and experience of the conditions likely to be encountered.  If you are considering this trip you need to contact the organiser\, Ben\, to find out more information and discuss your suitability. \nGrade: Difficult \nOrganiser: Ben  027 3880671

SUMMARY:Oamaru Skyline Walk - Day Trip
DESCRIPTION:As this was such a popular trip last year\, Wayne has decided to run it again this year.\nHere’s what Wayne wrote about it last time … \nThe Oamaru skyline walk is an easy-moderate two-part 1/2 day walk that starts below the skyline ridge behind the Waitaki Girls School at the northern end of Oamaru. \nIt starts with a short uphill street walk which leads into open grassland\, then sidles through a patch of native bush before dropping down to a small creek behind the Janet Frame House. It then continues up beside the creek\, past a locally famous quarry of geological interest\, and then up through a pine plantation to another grassland ridge. Good views of Oamaru and the port are seen from an unusually high perspective.From here the walk takes us past an astronomical observatory\, while below us we have views of an historical water wheel used for flour milling. This could be a good lunch spot for a future visit.We then drop down into the Botanical Gardens and follow the Oamaru Stream\, passing under an historical stone bridge and seeing parts of Oamaru that are not usually seen. Soon we arrive at the beach and see the Council’s new and impressive wooden suspension bridge over the stream. A short diversion lets us see the buildings that were the original ‘freezing works’ near the port of Oamaru. \nNow behind the historic Oamaru Victorian Precinct\, we then move along the waterfront before climbing up the hill track behind the port to a lookout point. From here we move into an area that was recently a pine plantation but now has lots of native plantings\, and we get to inspect some concrete gun emplacements. There are plenty of walking tracks and cycle tracks in this area.\nAt the end of the walk we drop back down the hill and can visit the penguin viewing area. Also\, if they are co-operative on the day\, view seals and pups snoozing safely just metres away over a fence.\nA short walk back along the waterfront to the car takes us past numerous noticeboards explaining the history of the Port of Oamaru.\nTime: About 4 hours. \nGrade: Easy\nContact: Wayne 027 9206638
