geeves

Ive been tramping in NZ a long time
Up until 79 I tramped with school and scouts etc in the Otago region but moved to Wellington where eventualy I joined Wn Tramping Club where I met my wife. Kids forced a many year break after which we joined HVTC where we have been members for 3 years.
Its taken me a long time to fill in my profile as Im lazy
This is or at least was one of the classic Tararua huts (mountain house) This could be one of the last pictures ever taken of it
