What we’re about
Check out our Website: 👉 https://wellytg.home.blog/
Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WellingtonTramping where you can plan trips and talk all things tramping with other members.
This group is all about hiking and tramping and exploring Wellington Region and further afield. We cover everything from a few hours over day and weekend tramps and welcome experienced trampers to organise and guide. Sometimes we even go for a Sunday afternoon stroll along the coast - but that's the exception.
This platform lets you get together with other keen people and go places together. There'll be a trip organiser that will plan out the logistics and how to get from A to B, but we're all adults responsible for ourselves.
❌❗ Before you sign up for a tramp - read carefully:
🔸 Make sure your fitness level matches the description: https://wellytg.home.blog/trip-grades/
🔸 Do have the appropriate gear? https://wellytg.home.blog/gear/
🔸 Plus follow our etiquette guide: https://wellytg.home.blog/policies-etiquette/
If you are unsure - please get in contact with the organiser of the particular tramp or one of the group organisers. We'd rather you ask lots of questions than something happening!
