SUMMARY:Lake Daniell (Lewis Pass area): Weekend Trip
DESCRIPTION:They don’t get much easier than this! The longest part of this trip will be driving there and back. \nA nice\, easy\, almost completely flat walk (8.4 km\, 3 hours each way) to a lovely lake 5km east of Springs Junction. The rebuilt Manson-Nicholls Hut at the lake has 20 bunks and requires bookings – so speak to the trip organiser about this. \nYears ago (i.e in the Olden Days) there was a leaky rowboat there that you could paddle around in – though not too far from the shore! Needless to say\, the Health and Safety Police have probably put an end to that bit of fun. \nGrade: Easy\nOrganiser: Ben 027 3880671 (Text him and he will get back to you)

(You will have the weekend to recover!) \nA steep walk to the top\, but rewarded by great views of the upper Rangitata area and further inland. The starting point is about 30 minutes further up the Rangitata valley from Mt Peel. \nGrade: Moderate to Fit\nOrganiser: Andrew 027 9365040 (Text him and he will get back to you)

SUMMARY:Sharplin Falls and Pinnacles Hut Track (Mt Somers): Day Trip
DESCRIPTION:The track to Sharplin Falls re-opened last year after a lengthy period of closure. The idea for this trip is to go to the falls\, then follow that by walking along the track towards Pinnacles Hut for as far as we want to go\, before returning to the carpark and home. \nIt is about 2.4 km and 45 minutes each way to the falls\, and according to DoC it is 5.8 km and about 3.5 hours one way to the hut. How far we go will depend on the conditions on the day and the wishes of those present. \nGrade: Easy to Moderate\nOrganiser: Graham 6861651 or 021 08293331

SUMMARY:Casey Hut (Arthurs Pass National Park): Weekend Trip - Cancelled
DESCRIPTION:This trip was cancelled\, due to unfavourable weather conditions.  It will be run at another date (not yet set). \nCasey Hut is a 12 bunk serviced hut\, accessed from Andrews Shelter either by Andrews Stream and Casey Saddle or via Binser Saddle and the Poulter River. According to DoC it takes 6 to 8 hours to get to the hut via Andrews Stream\, so a good level of fitness will be required. The exact route taken will be decided on the day\, depending on the conditions at the time. \nThe hut was opened in 2020\, thanks to a generous donation by one of our Life Members\, and replaces one burnt down in 2015. Bookings are not required\, but as it is a “Serviced” hut\, the appropriate hut tickets or passes must be taken. \nBen and Barry are organising this trip\, so contact them as below for further information. As Ben works shifts it would be best to contact him by text\, and he will get back to you. \nGiven the nature of the area this trip will be weather-dependent\, so will only go ahead if conditions are favourable. \nGrade: Moderate to Fit\nOrganisers: Ben 027 3880671 / Barry 6885320 or 021 02689877

SUMMARY:River Crossing Exercise (Pleasant Point area): Day Event
DESCRIPTION:We will be having a river crossing exercise and training session on Saturday 18 November in the Opihi River near Pleasant Point.

It may also pay to bring a towel and a spare pair of dry socks and shoes – unless you want to stand round in wet ones afterwards! \nIf you want to take part put your name down on the sheet at the club meeting or ring Hazel\, the organiser\, as below. \nGrade: Easy to Moderate (depending on conditions)\nOrganiser: Hazel  021 1705622 / 03 6882032

SUMMARY:Lake Clearwater: Day Trip
DESCRIPTION:If you are looking for a nice easy walk this will be the one for you – a stroll around Lake Clearwater.

The track follows or is close to the shoreline and is more-or-less flat. Bring your lunch\, as we will have a lunch break during the walk or at the end\, depending on conditions and time. \nIf you are interested please contact Christine as below\, preferably by text. The meeting point will be the Aorangi Stadium carpark beside Morgans Road at 8:00 on Saturday. \nGrade: Easy\nTrip Organiser: Christine 021 1276964

SUMMARY:Mt Dobson (Dobson Peak): Day Trip - Postponed
DESCRIPTION:This trip has been postponed.  A new date (possibly sometime in August) will be advised as soon as possible. \nProviding landowner permission is obtained\, Andrew is planning a trip to walk to Dobson Peak. \nThe intention is to drive to the ski field (chains required)\, walk due west to the learner platter and onward up to a peak at 2064 metres\, then walk due north to Dobson Peak (2095 metres). From there\, continue around until ready to come back down to the car park\, then drive home. \nDue to the conditions likely to be encountered this trip has been rated as “Difficult”.  An ice axe will be required and crampons would also be desirable.  To find out more about this trip or to discuss your suitability please contact Andrew as below. \nIf landowner permission is forthcoming a trip to Ben Ohau is a likely alternative. \nGrade: Difficult\nOrganiser: Andrew (Text him on 027 9365040 and he will get back to you)

SUMMARY:July Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our monthly meeting will be held on Monday 10 July\, starting at 7:30 pm\, at our usual venue – Church Street Bible Chapel Hall\, corner Church Street and Avenue Road\, Timaru. \nAs well as a round-up of recent and upcoming trips we will view and discuss two videos from NZ Mountain Safety Council on river crossing and hypothermia. They will be quite timely\, as (1) we are hoping to have a practical river crossing course in spring\, and (2) if a river crossing doesn’t go as planned and somebody gets a dunking it could result in hypothermia. \nAll members\, as well as anybody else interested in the club or finding out what we get up to\, are welcome to attend.
