Organisers: Tommy Thomson, Justin Atkinson

We'll be heading to the Orongorongos for a collab with the Department of Conservation! We'll help out with some hut maintenance, and in return there may be a sneaky free night's stay!

We'll most likely be staying at Turere Lodge, which is a chill 2.5hr walk from the Catchpool valley road end. It will be super chill and there will be plenty of time to explore the valley, with some awesome swimming holes and huts/tracks for us to explore! There are even some mountains to explore if anyone is keen, Mts McKerrow and Matthews.

More info coming soon :)
