Tongariro Alpine Crossing

For many years RSC has organised a weekend for its keen members and their friends to walk the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.

So again, this year the weekend will be 18^th March, see our website www.rsc.org.nz

For those that like to know how this works:

Arrive Friday evening at the RSC Chalet, Whakapapa- prepare your own dinner or eat on the way.

Saturday morning, early rise to make your own breakfast, pack your own lunch, and snack food for the walk. Depending on numbers the bus will pick you up from the Chalet (or Whakapapa Village by DoC Centre) and take you to the beginning of the track (no parking hassles). At the end of the walk, the bus will pick you up and take you back to Whakapapa or the Chalet.

Enjoy whatever pre-dinner drinks and nibbles you’ve brought along. I will put on a chicken roast dinner at cost share, which saves you doing all the cooking after a long day of walking.

Sunday morning, no rush, prepare your own breakfast, help tidy the building and do another walk or have a coffee at the Knoll Ridge Cafe as you please.

Cost:

• Accommodation at the RSC Chalet: RSC Members $25 p/n, non-members $30 p/n.
• The Bus (transport): Adult $30, Child $20
• Roast Dinner, cost share, I guess $20 pp or thereabouts. Bring some cash, please.

As you can see from the photo last year, there is great interest in this event so make sure to book a spot. In the case of extremely bad weather, we’ll cancel, but there are also many other very enjoyable walk that can be done as an alternative. Any questions welcome. Start training now!!

Limited spaces available, book now!!!
