Lake Waikaremoana Experience

 With variable weather and snoring hut companions, she now has a different impression of another one the Great Walks  of New Zealand. jess hikingApart the time spent on the track between huts, Jess particularly enjoyed playing cards, 500 (there could be a challenge coming up!), as there is not a lot else to do after changing into dry clothes and waiting for the meal of dehydrated food. 
 Not to be deterred, another tramp is in being planned for Abel Tasman in May.

 President Elect, Adrienne Murray stood in for President Chris at the meeting and gave a very compassionate report on Trish Garrett. The family is in residence and is supporting Chris and Trish, and the request is for no visitors.
