WANDERERS LAST TRAMP OF THE YEAR

 

Sunday 3 December       Miranda Bird Sanctuary and Lunch at the Bay View Hotel    G1/Social

This is the last tramp of the year so bring or wear your glad rags and walking shoes.

On arrival at the Trust we will have morning tea including Xmas cake provided by the committee.  We have arranged a presentation by the Sanctuary Trust to tell us about their work and the birds who visit and live there.   We will then walk down to the sanctuary hides/viewing areas to see who might be present or those who have flown in for a visit, then make our way back to the vans. This is a flat walk on gravel paths of about 1 hour. Bring your binoculars for a better view.

Once loaded into the vans we head to the Bay View Hotel which is nestled in the charming seaside town of Kaiaua. Bay View Hotel is a cozy establishment that offers a delightful dining experience to locals and visitors alike. The restaurant serves up classic Kiwi pub fare with a focus on fresh seafood, such as the mouth-watering snapper and scallops cooked to perfection with a crispy batter. The menu also features juicy burgers, salads, and steak sandwiches, all at reasonable prices that won't break the bank (mains from $18 - $40)

Depart:            8am                                                                     Return:   5-6pm approx.

Cost:                $25.00 (members) + personal lunch costs;  $35.00 (non-members) + personal lunch costs.  The club is paying  each members entrance $5.00 to                                                    the Trust for the talk and  making a donation for use of their facilities.

About us

This tramping club is based in Hamilton and run trips every second Sunday except during January, on tracks within the greater Waikato area.

We usually have minibuses to transport us so we can socialise on the way.

On long weekends we sometimes travel further afield, with overnight trips to a lodge or hut near a great tramping area somewhere within a few hours of Hamilton.

Our focus is on having an enjoyable and energetic day in the hills - we leave the high-speed gut-busting to other people. The companionship and conversations are an essential part of any tramp, but at the end of the day we also know we have had great exercise as well.

Loan gear may be available for those who are new to this sport.

Contact our New members convenor Jenny West, tsew.ynnej@gmail.com for more information.
