SUMMARY:Oamaru Skyline Walk - Day trip
DESCRIPTION:The 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.\nFrom 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.\nWe 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. \nWe will leave Timaru at 8 am and drive to Oamaru. \nWalking time: 4 hours approximately \nContact: Wayne 0279206638

SUMMARY:September Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:For our meeting this month we are very fortunate to have a presentation by Nicole Moerhuis\, who has come all the way from Canada to speak to us. Nicole was a member of our club for several years and\, if rumours are to be believed\, is hoping to establish a branch of our club in Canada. \nNicole will be telling us about recent tramps she has done in Canterbury\, northwest Nelson and on the West Coast\, and will talk about the geology of these areas. In addition\, she will also tell us about hiking in British Columbia. \nWe will also have the usual roundup of trip reports and news of upcoming trips. \nPlease note that with the current Covid-19 restrictions we will have to limit numbers attending to 100\, so arrive early to avoid missing out!

SUMMARY:Scott's Saddle (Mt Hutt area) - Day Trip
DESCRIPTION:The walk to Scott’s Saddle goes through parts of the Mt Hutt Forest and the Awa Awa Rata Reserve\, remnants of forests that once covered much of the foothills and the plains. \nThe track to the saddle is rated as “Moderate”\, and the total walking time should be about 4 hours. \nThere are several rest spots and vantage points along the way\, from where good views over the Canterbury Plains and to the Port Hills are obtained.

SUMMARY:Casey Hut (Arthurs Pass area) - Three Day Trip
DESCRIPTION:This new hut\, which replaces one destroyed by fire\, was to be officially opened in August\, but the event was unfortunately cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions. \nOne of our Life Members\, Robert B.\, who very generously helped with the funding for this replacement 12-bunk hut will be taking this trip. \nThe intention is to walk up the Binser valley for about 5 hours on the Saturday\, camp out for the night\, then continue on for about 4 hours to the Casey Hut the next day.  On the Monday\, the plan is to walk out via Andrews Stream. \nThis should be a great trip.  A reasonable level of fitness will be necessary.
