Jan'18 : Puhoi, just another great valley in NZ. This is part of the Te Aroha walking track. 12 folks turned up and did a 10km return walk in pristine forest and in the cool shade of the natural umbrella although the day was very hot. Welcome to Dylan, see you again.
Feb'18 - Mangamangaroa trail, Howick. Windsor Park Tramping had a wonderful outing yesterday, walking the Managmangaroa trail. 33 folks rocked up and tackled a very worn and washed out track, we even had to cut down branches. Welcome to all our teenagers, especially the German import Phillip. Only did 7 km in total, but it was slow going through the mud and bush and the views - spectacular. Amazing to have such beauty so close to Auckland.
Mar'18 - Just another fantastic day in paradise, 9 km walked in dry weather with a little cloud cover. Our international exposure is growing, all in all 25 walkers today. Welcome to the new ones too many to mention. Duder Regional Park is definitely one our best scenic walks around Auckland. Total walking time today was 3 hours and then off for a coffee and hot chips on Maraetai beachfront.

May'18 Mount Tamahanga . Great crowd of trampers today, good yummy mud and lots of sunshine, views and good company. Thanks to all 20 that made it to Mount Tamahunga, Matakana, short 6km walk, but 500m elevation. Lots of slips and slides but no bad falls.
Jun'18 Did some great tramping with Windsor Park Tramping today, the Matakana-Ohama trail (12km). Not many takers on this beautiful sunny day with great views down on to Omaha basin. Stopped over at James & Morrison for coffee and then back home. Thanks to all that made it.
Jul'18 Te Atiu Creek - Windsor Park Tramping had their real mud experience today with a 12km tramp at Te Atiu Creek up Wellsford way. 16 adventurous trampers had such fun, watching a sheep give birth and generally mucking around in the mud in a seriously beautiful part of Kaipara Harbour. Thanks to all in making it a wonderful day together and no one complained about the mud.
Aug'18 - WPBC tramping group had a great outing today to the south east of Auckland, Maraetai, walking along the Hauraki coastline for 12km.
