Trip information, past trips and contacts for Wanderers Tramping Club

Welcome to the Wanderers Web Site

 

About us

This tramping club is based in Hamilton and run trips every second Sunday except during January, on tracks within the greater Waikato area.

We usually have minibuses to transport us so we can socialise on the way.

On long weekends we sometimes travel further afield, with overnight trips to a lodge or hut near a great tramping area somewhere within a few hours of Hamilton.

Our focus is on having an enjoyable and energetic day in the hills - we leave the high-speed gut-busting to other people. The companionship and conversations are an essential part of any tramp, but at the end of the day we also know we have had great exercise as well.

Loan gear may be available for those who are new to this sport.

Contact Dianne Lee  for more information.  Email:  leedi444@gmail.com

 THERE ARE SOME CHANGES IN HOW WE WILL WORK NEXT YEAR.     FIRST TRAMP OF YEAR IS SUNDAY 8 FEBRUARY. Details out after new year

Important Information

From February 2026 you will need to have $25.00 cash to pay the car driver on the day.

Some of you will be aware that the Wanderers Tramping Club has reviewed how we will work next year.  Here is what you need to know

  • No membership Fee
  • Meet at Community Living Trust car park on Collingwood Street (no change)
  • We are carpooling, so offer of a car/driver would be greatly appreciated. The drivers get $25 per person as koha.
  • No booking for tramps, just turn up on the day before the time to leave as indicated on the write up sent via email 2 weeks prior (as normal)
  • You will need at least a change of footwear, so cars don’t get dirty, change of clothes to leave in car always a good idea.
  • We are currently working on the tramp calendar for the whole of 2026. This will be put onto the Trips page on the Wanderers web site – wandererstramping.org.nz.  On the  Home page each fortnight this page will be updated with the details of the up coming tramp.
  • Fortnightly email reminder for next tramp will be sent out as normal
  • You can still contact me re the tramp if you need further information (I am the coordinator)

Lastly thank you everyone who has supported us through the year, we have enjoyed having you with us and hope to see you in 2026.

Have a fantastic merry Christmas and new year, enjoy the festive break and be safe.

See you next year Dianne
