Gear List

Waitakere Ranges Trip

At the end of August the Pike-lets headed into the Waitakere Ranges. Using the Auckland Tramping Club Hut as a base we completed a range of walks, including two night tramps and a massive 7 hour day to Piha and back on Friday. The Pike-lets should be congratulated for their efforts. When not tramping they were organising their tents and building bivouacs to sleep in and cooking all of their own food.

Seven Summits

On Friday 10 August the WPCA students set out on an urban adventure. There is a theory that you can climb seven summits in Auckland City in seven hours. The aim was to bag to create our own route through the city and bag as many summits as we could. Mt Hobson, Mt St John, Mt Eden, Mt Roskill, Mt Albert, Big King and One Tree Hill were going to be invaded.

Photos will be uploaded very soon

Mountain Biking & Tree Adventures

The Woodhill day was a complete success. We all challenged ourselves and enjoyed trying something new, photos will be up very soon

Bushcraft 101

This Friday the 11th of May we are heading into the Hunua Ranges. We will be learning and practicing a range of bushcraft skills.


Make sure you have:

• Enough food and drink
• Warm clothes
• Wet weather gear
• Good shoes or tramping boots
• A backpack that you can put everything in.

I suggest packing things that might get wet in a plastic bag to help keep them dry.

Keep your eyes on the weather - we will be going regardless of the conditions. Knowing what the weather is doing will give you a good idea what to bring on the day.
