It is with great regret that we advise readers of the untimely passing of Stan Smith on 14 July 2013. Stan was a stalwart of the club and he will be greatly missed for his company, friendship and knowledge of the area.
Now that Spring has arrived the club’s weekly trips are again ranging further in anticipation of warmer, if not more settled weather. Recent trips have included the tracks in and around the Kaitoke Waterworks, a loop around Hinewaka Station and the Kourarua Dam (Gladstone), Cape Palliser Lighthouse to the Stone Wall, and Mikimiki to Kiriwhakapapa and return.
The programme for the next couple of months is currently under preparation but will include:
Date to be decided – the Pylon Track and Chimney Spur on the Finnis Ridge – Janet Corlett 306 9079
19th October, the Rimutaka Rail Trail from Cross Creek to the Summit and return – Bill Dolan 306 9221
Anyone is welcome. Please telephone the leader by Thursday evening before the trip.
Please phone Lynne King for upcoming trip details (04 478 7795). For general enquiries call Ed Cooke, Club President (304 9497), or Carol Major, Club Secretary (304 8210).
