General Trip Overview
If you wonder if you can do this, the answer is yes, Freshers is an easy trip and anyone can do it! Come along and join in whatever your experience (or non-experience) level.
Gear:
You will need to bring basic overnight tramping/hiking gear (Please see: http://new.vuwtc.org.nz/gear-list). If the weather is warm we also recommend bringing a towel and swimwear. Tent/shelters and cooking equipment can be provided by the club. If you’re not sure if you have everything you need, or if an item is recommended, flick us through a quick message on Facebook and we can help get you sorted. You will receive an email after signing up with a more detailed gear list.
Route:
Friday night - Meet at University and we will take a bus to Waiohine Gorge Shelter where we will camp for the night.
Saturday - We're all in this together. Everyone will be taking the main route to camp at the south end of Totara Flats. Here chaos (if you so choose) will ensue. Party-hard, have an enjoyable evening but don't leave your rubbish around. And remember you have to walk out on Sunday- from experience it's not that fun if you're hungover.
Sunday - We walk out via Totara Creek to Holdsworth road end. There will be 5 - 6 hours of walking including breaks. Once at the carpark we will enjoy a BBQ while we wait for the buses to pick us up and take us back to Vic Uni.
More detailed information and instructions will be provided at the meeting on 2nd, March 6:00 PM in Room TTR LT1 and by email after you have signed up for the trip.
The cost will be $45-50 (TBC) and $30 for a leader.
$50.00
