 WELCOME
The Waimea Tramping Club
started in 1973 as a part of the Richmond YMCA. It became a separate
incorporated club in 1975 and
was affiliated with the "Federated Mountain Clubs of NZ Inc" in 1979.
We are based in the
Tasman/Nelson area and regularly tramp in the Abel
Tasman National Park, the Kahurangi
National Park, the Mt Richmond Forest Park, the
Nelson Lakes National
Park, the Marlborough Sounds Maritime Park, the Victoria Forest Park and other conservation areas, all
within a 100km of Nelson. We also range through the Rainbow Valley,
Inland and Seaward Kaikouras, the Paparoas, Lewis Pass area, Lake
Sumner Forest Park, Hanmer Forest Park and
Arthurs Pass National
Park. On occasions we head further south and even pop overseas to the
outlying North Island.
Membership is presently
about 100. We organise tramps for each weekend, usually alternating a
day walk on Sunday with an overnight trip the next weekend. We cater for
all grades of tramps, especially on long weekends, and include mountain
bike trips and socials in our activities.
