We love tramping and are always looking for new people to join our community. We organise more than 200 trips a year that include tramping and alpine, as well as kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing and more. We also organise volunteer projects, support our members to develop their outdoor skills and offer plenty of opportunities for you to get involved with our community – whether it’s organising trips and social events, educating other members, participating in volunteer conservation projects, entering our photo competition and much more.
At our new members night, you can meet members, ask questions about how we organise our trips and find out what trips you might want to go on. Not to mention there will be plenty of biscuits and cake!
Whether you’re a seasoned tramper, new to tramping or even just curious about tramping – come along.
