    Mount Te Aroha Loop/ Kaimai

    Members please register for the trip by Friday 12 April 7pm 

    A good standard of fitness will be required for this one as it involves a steep climb and descent which will test your cardiovascular performance.

    On a fine day you will be rewarded with a fine view down the Kaimai range, and out to the west Mt Pirongia and south to Mt Ruapehu.

    We will start this one at the Te Aroha Domain and immediately start the climb up Bald Spur on the Mount Te Aroha Track to the summit at 953 meters, this is the highest point in the Kaimai Range and giving us a total climb of about 900 meters! After a well-earned rest, the plan will be to head down the Tui Mine Track and onto the Tui Domain Track completing a loop back to the bus.

    Please make sure you have adequate clothing even, on a warm day as the summit is exposed, and of course plenty of water.

    Kaimai Track Clearing and mini-Weekend Tramp to Wairere Falls - Lower Kaimai Ranges

    Start: 6.00pm: Friday, 19th April’24

    Depart: Cnr Auburn and Como Streets, Takapuna

    Return: Sunday, 21st April’24              

    • (A)                     Kaimai Track Clearing Party

    Come and support our Clubs Kaimai Track Clearing Party with this FREE Weekend.

    As part of our Clubs commitment to support the Kaimai Ridgeway Trust’s initiative to maintain tracks in the Kaimai’s we have undertaken to clear the track from Aongatete Junction to Wairere Falls.

    • Includes a tramp in pristine river valley and forest   
    • Great comradeship                   
    • Only work as hard as you feel able
    • No pressure to finish any length of the track                                           
    • Full complement of quality tools provided
    • Good water supply
    • Safety taken seriously

    Several previous trips undertaken by members have enabled most of the track to be cleared between the top of the Wairere Falls to the junction of the North South Track near Aongatete.

    The severe weather during 2023 left an area of windfall damage covering about 500 metres near the saddle, on the Wairere Falls side of the track .

    We will travel down and sleep in the bus on the Friday night, parking up at the Wairere Falls Carpark located at the end of Goodwin Road, off  Te Aroha-Okauia Rd.

    On Saturday we tramp up the Wairere Falls track to an idyllic camp site ~1 1/2 hours from the top of Wairere Falls, just below the saddle where we will start track clearing.  

    Are you able to help on this trip?  The work is not difficult.  All you need is some good garden gloves.  The Club has a full complement of tools to tackle the job. 

    As there are no huts, tents are required (available for loan from the Club if required for current financial NSTC members).  There is an abundance of clean water available in nearby streams.

    Depart:  6pm, Friday, 19th April’24.

                   Corner 6 Auburn Street & Como Street carpark, Takapuna

    Return:    Sunday afternoon: 21st April’24

    For people who are interested in an easy weekend tramp this will be ideal.  Tent is required. (The Club has tents available to borrow if you do not have your own)

    You will travel down on the Friday with the Kaimai Track Clearing Party and on the Saturday you will then follow the Wairere Falls Track and set up Camp at our favourite  campsite ½ hr from the top of Wairere Falls.

    There are a variety of walks in area available including a visit to the Upper Wairere Falls. 

    Everyone will walk out on the Sunday to be back at the bus early afternoon.

    Raglan / Karioi & Pipiwwharauroa

    18th-19th May

    Leaving Como Street 8.00am

    Mount Karioi is a day walk that’s a bit too far a stretch for a one-day bus trip, so we have combined this for a casual mini weekend away with a few more options as well.

    Saturday:  Leave Takapuna pass through Raglan township on way to the Te Toto Gorge lookout. Across the road from the lookout is the start of the Mt Karioi track, this track is classed as an advanced tramping track so it will involve mud, slippery and uneven track conditions as well as a steep hill climb of about 500 meters and about 8 Kilometers 4 to 5 hours, so you will need to be of good fitness for this, if we have enough participants and drivers we will start a team from Western side of the mountain and both parties can do a cross over, failing that it will be a climb to the summit and return the same way.

    If you would prefer something a bit more casual, we can drop those of you who would rather just relax and explore the township, beaches, and Cafes for the day. Of course, there will be an opportunity for those who wish to wine and dine in the town for the evening.

    Sunday: We will head over and view the spectacular Waireinga / Bridal Veil Falls and take on the new Pipiwharauroa walking and cycle trail that takes us up and over rolling farmland and a metal road close to the wind turbine farm, it may be windy. 18 kilometers return 3 to 4 hours before heading back to Takapuna.

    Accommodation will be at the Raglan Holiday Park - https://www.raglanholidaypark.co.nz/

    Trip costs are.

    (i) $98 for a Bunk at the Holiday Park – 9 bunks available at this stage!

    (ii) $85 to sleep on the Bus at the Holiday Park – 6 available at this stage!

    (iii) $60 for Self-Book accommodation.  Charge covers bus running costs - Accommodation is for you to book and pay for. 

    Full and final payment must be received by 2/05/24 for this trip!
