Tramping Trips
Day tramping trips are held almost every Sunday, meeting outside the
Post Shop in Glenmall Place, Glen Eden
(map,
map2)
and leaving at 8:30 am, unless otherwise stated in the programme.
Introductory tramping trips are held approximately once a month,
leaving at 9:30 am from outside the Post Shop in Glenmall Place, Glen Eden
(map,
map2)
unless otherwise stated in the monthly magazine.
A weekend tramping trip is organized approximately every 4-6 weeks.
Meeting arrangements are communicated by the trip leader
to participants. Weekend trips do not leave from Glenmall Place.
What to bring on a day tramping trip
- Lunch (including drink) & extra eats (scroggin) to nibble at during the day.
- Waterproof raincoat or parka.
- Woollen/polarfleece jersey/bushshirt and a hat of some kind.
- Footwear; boots are desirable though not essential.
Sandshoes or training shoes will do for a start.
A plastic bag for dirty footwear is handy as many drivers
do not appreciate muddy boots in their car.
- A plastic bag or pack liner. As no pack is waterproof,
a plastic bag will keep the contents dry.
It is a good idea to pack clothing in a plastic bag as well.
- Carry your own medication for any allergies i.e asthma etc.,
and if you have a medical condition please let the leader know.
What to bring on a weekend tramp
Contact the trip leader to find out what you need to take
with you, as the equipment may differ depending on the trip.
