Pleny of action this weekend with an AIC follow up / snow caving trip to the Ruapehu Plateau and a day trip in the Mukamuka.
The snow caving trip will be leaving Friday, returning Sunday. You will need some good gear for this one as the weather can change quickly on Ruapehu and it will be cold being above the snow line. Contact Michael or Manoel if you're keen (mjeatson@gmail.com, desorder@gmail.com).
The Mukamuka day trip is in the Rimutakas and will go from Catchpool over South Saddle, down the Mukamuka and out to the coast. It will be a long day with around 25km of walking, although a lot of it will be flat. There may be options to do part of the trip and return to Catchpool if enough people are keen to do that. Contact Gina (gina.f.waibl@nz.mwhglobal.com) if you're keen.
