Good and easy tracks for beginners.
Hi, i am new to tramping and want to try and get out more. So could anyone be able to tell me any good but fairly easy tracks close to Christchurch or lake pearson please?
These are the tracks we got our kids going on: http://www.doc.govt.nz/upload/documents/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/canterbury/Waimakariri/foothills-forests-brochure.pdfhttp://www.doc.govt.nz/upload/documents/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/canterbury/Waimakariri/craigieburn-forest-park.pdf
I see those links didn't come through as intended. Go to the DOC website and find the brochures for Foothills Forest and Cragieburn Forest Park. Cheers.
Check out a local club..Here's a link to the Christchurch Tramping Clubs trips.
Checking out a club is good advice.
Organised trips. Support. Companionship. Shared car pooling. Access to areas the general public can't usually get to. Join a club that has a tramp programme that looks good to you.
OFTC (Chch) runs at least 3 different grades of tramps each Sunday & Wednesday, plus overnighters & base camps.
