Whats everyone got planned?
Original post
I know that we have had this type of thread before but I figure seen as there isnt much happening on this website at the moment I just thought I would ask what everyone is up to, Have ya got anything planned for the weekend or training ya self up for a big tramp during the summer? Just thought I would see what everyones up to, its good to read about other peoples tramping trips plus it also gives ya a few ideas for tramping trips of your own.

Uplands road (near Kati kati) to Kauritatahi Hut if you have not done it is one of my Kaimai Favourites.
The track is well marked all the way, and the turn off to Kauritatahi hut is now sign posted and the track has been recut.
Here is a trip report to the hut via Thompsons track. http://www.tramper.co.nz/?3103
Hoping to get to Holdsworth-Jumbo and Mitre mid to end November.
DebK909 - always a starter for Hikurangi if dates suit.
So good to see some great trips in the pipeline...We are planning an outing in the Kiamanawa's. Looking at heading in to Ngapuketarua then over to Junction top with the intention of going on to Thunderbolt on Middle Range and out via Urchin.
Fruitbat - Having looked at the maps I think I'll do Kauritatahi first, then maybe have a go at Hikurangi in December or January
There will be more plants in flower on Mt Hikurangi then. Really lovely and the northern limit for many of the alpine plants that grow there.
Final planning stages for a north - south traverse of the main Tararua range from Mangahao Reservoir via Te Matawai, Nichols, Mangahuka, Kime and out at Kaitoke, mid October. Got 7 days to waste up there. Can't wait.
I'm walking in to Lake Guyon which is in the new St James Conservation Area, north of Hanmer Springs. Looks like a rather relaxed trip.
Would you cross Maling pass near Lake tennyson then walk down the Waiau river to the lake?
I have always wanted to tramp into Lake Mcrae (which is halfway down the Clarence.
