Working Bee - Ruapehu A-Frame 16th to 17th March

We need you! Come and experience Ruapehu in the summer while helping a good cause. Travel down on the Friday afternoon, stay two nights in the beautiful A-Frame for free (including delicious food). All help welcome; children can also attend. The main job will be painting the roof, but there are plenty of smaller jobs to be done, including being the cook for the weekend. Contact Nicholas Roberts if you can lend a hand: ruapehu@alpinesport.org.nz

 

Women’s Overnighter - Mahurangi Camping - 23rd to 24th March

We are so excited to share that our Women’s Overnighter Adventures are back! Our first adventure will be set in a beautiful Mahurangi Regional Park campground.  

We will walk into a campsite at low tide (approx. 30 mins) and set up camp. You will need to carry all your gear, so a backpack is ideal. 

There will be time to rest, explore, walk, swim, share kai, connect with likeminded outdoorsy women. 

The event is hosted by Jeanine Scholey from the Alpine Sports Club and members of the public are very welcome to attend. 

Join us for fuss-free 24-hour adventures with fun and friendly women (adults only please).

Please email womens.overnighter@gmail.com for all the details and to organise ride-shares.

We are looking forward to adventuring with old and new friends - it has been too long!
