This group is all about hiking and tramping and exploring Wellington Region and further afield. We cover everything from a few hours over day and weekend tramps and welcome experienced trampers to organise and guide. Sometimes we even go for a Sunday afternoon stroll along the coast - but that's the exception.
This platform lets you get together with other keen people and go places together. There'll be a trip organiser that will plan out the logistics and how to get from A to B, but we're all adults responsible for ourselves.
ββ Before you sign up for a tramp - read carefully:
If you are unsure - please get in contact with the organiser of the particular tramp or one of the group organisers. We'd rather you ask lots of questions than something happening!

What do I need to do?
RSVP to the waitlist - I'll message (please make sure you have this functionality enabled) my bank account details to the first 6 people. (If you have been on one of my trips before and know my account number, please don't send me any money unless I message you.)
Once I have received your payment I will move you from the Waitlist to the Going list. The reason you need to pay now is I have already paid for the accommodation plus I need to pre-book the ferry.
Note that guests are not an option for this one as I prefer spots to go to actual members that a) have made the effort to sign up to this group and b)have read and understood the event description
No refunds sorry (unless the event is over-subscribed or cancelled due to weather).
If you find yourself unable to go, then you're welcome to find another person to take your place and they can pay you back.
