If crampons and ice axes are required, these are available at Tokaanu Ski Hire – Tel no 386 7961. These have to be pre-booked ready to pick up on the day of the trip. Any changes to trip details should be notified by the designated leader to the Secretary, Paul Sanderson, on paulsand@xtra.co.nz or on 378 3478 – he can then notify members by e-mail. If the designated leader is unable to lead the tramp, it is his/her responsibility to organise an alternative leader. There are very few weekend tramps organised this quarter because of a lack of volunteers. If anyone wishes to organise a tramp at short notice on any of the vacant weekends, please inform Isabel Hutcheon on 376 9319 or hutcheon@slingshot.co.nz TRIP LEADERS ARE REMINDED THAT THE BUS MUST BE SWEPT OUT AND TOPPED UP WITH DIESEL IF THE LEVEL IS BELOW 1/2 MARK. Remember the Police are also entitled to use it for Search and Rescue if necessary. LEADERS SHOULD CHECK THE WEATHER FORECAST FOR THEIR TRAMP – www.metservice.co.nz does up-to-date mountain weather. IF THE WEATHER SHOULD PROVE TOO BAD TO DO THE LISTED TRAMP, LEADERS SHOULD HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE TRAMP IN MIND. |
