Our speakers tonight were Julian and Lyn Hardy telling us about their recent trips ,walking the Motatapu track,the Heaphy track and up to the Mueller hut.The Motatapu Trackgoes from Arrowtown to Glendu Bay.This track is almost all along high ridges which are exposed but with great views.A lot of up hill grunts.They spent 3 nights in good huts. The track passes through Soho Station and luckily the weather wasn”t windy.

  The Heaphy track was enjoyable .It runs from the Collingwood area to Karamea and is 78.4 kms long.They spend 3 nights and 4 days covering this in good company and in good huts.A great tramp with varying terrain,bush, rivers and beaches and they crossed the new bridge over the Heaphy.They also had good weather for their tramp.

  Another walk they did was in the Mt Cook area up to the Mueller Hut They had beautiful weather and great views.

 Meeting closed at 8.20pm followed by a cup of tea.
