A tramping we will go!

In order to find a few more people willing to scale mountains with her, Jen has joined the Wellington Tramping Club! Nige refused, based on the fact that it sounded way too middle-aged! So Jen went along to the meeting, met lots of lovely people, and on Saturday, went off on her first tramp with them.

The Wellington Tramping Club has about 400 members, all aged between about 20 and 40, and each weekend they have lots of different tramps organised, ranging from easy to hard fitness levels, and including kayaking and mountain-biking trips.

Jen started off with an easy day tramp, and had a brilliant time exploring the Makara Coast near Wellington, walking along wind-swept beaches and over grassy cliff-tops in the sunshine, with views right across to the South Island. Everyone was really friendly, and she's already made a new pal :-)

Nige has now expressed an interest in coming along on the next tramp as Jen seems to be having too much fun without him! Nige, we'll make a Barker of you yet!!


The lady is a tramp..er
