Welcome To Our Site...

The Manukau Tramping Club was formed in 1976 by a group of like minded individuals. Today, membership is around 120, with ages ranging from early teens, to people in their eighties! Our club members welcome and invite any new people to participate in our tramps/hikes. We always like to see some new faces in the group!

Tramps or hikes are held on every weekend throughout the year. There are two tramps held on Sundays, with one being light suitable for beginners or people with limited time. The second tramp would suit those with a medium to high level of fitness and tramping experience. In addition to day tramps, 2 or 3 day weekend tramps and other trips spanning several days are held regularly. Details about tramps are listed on the trips page.

The weekend trips the Club has done over 2011 included visits to the following:

- Whirinaki Forest at Anniversary Weekend

- Tongariro National Park at Easter

- Tangihua Lodge in Northland in June

- Beginners' Mountain weekend in August

- Te Kauri Park near Kawhia in October.

In addition, a ten day circuit of Stewart Island was completed in March. Planning is well underway for the 2012 weekend trips, starting once again with a camping trip at Waipakihi River, in the Kaimanawas at Anniversary Weekend.

Also featured on our website are trip photos and reports so you can easily follow where our Club has been tramping in New Zealand's great outdoors!

The club meets in the Anglican Church Hall, Coles Crescent in Papakura, on the first Monday of each month at 7:15pm. There is a $1.50 entrance fee. If the first Monday in the month is a public holiday, the meeting is held on the second Monday. Everyone is welcome to attend our club nights.
