There are spaces on the December trip to Presevation Inlet in Fiordland to do conservation work on Coal Island and around the inlet. Fly in from Tuatapere 8 December and out to Tuatapere 13 or 14 December. Spend 1 day on Coal Island and 3 days tramping from Kisbee Lodge to Puysegur Point and back. Cost ex Tuatapere is $650 per person to cover flying and food. If you are interested or know of anyone who might be, drop me a line. The next trip that there is space for club members is May 2009.
Allen Higgins has just returned from the last trip and can give anyone interested a good idea of what is involved
