If the departure point is not specified in the trip schedule, you may assume it's 'Z' Carlton. Day trips usually depart at 8am on Saturday or Sunday. Weekend trips may leave on either Friday evening or Saturday morning. New or prospective members intending to go on any trip must sign up at club night or contact the trip leader in advance. CTC OVERDUE TRIPS: Members/family/partners or a nominated person concerned about a trip being overdue should firstly discuss this with a Club Officer when they feel that the trip is delayed. Refer to the list of Club Officers on the back of the newsletter and on the club website. Club Officers know where to obtain copies of the Trip Lists containing the names and addresses of the party members with their vehicle registration details etc. This will greatly assist Police Search and Rescue. The Club Officer can then contact the Police directly. Concerned people should keep trying different numbers until they actually contact a Club Officer (DO NOT LEAVE MESSAGES). We recommend that concerned people start with the Club Captain, then the Gear Custodian, then the Presidents, then the Trip Organisers, then people listed under Our Club Hut - if no contact can be made then the Police. Members (particularly Trip Leaders) please discuss this arrangement with your loved ones so they are aware of this procedure. Social: We meet on Wednesdays 7:30 pm at the Canterbury Horticultural Centre (Watling Lounge), Hagley Park South, 57 Riccarton Avenue (entrance opposite the hospital). A variety of social functions are organised, the atmosphere is informal, and tea and biscuits served. If you can give a presentation or have ideas, please phone Kate Taylor 980-8224 or email [email protected]. Please note that formalities start at 7:50 pm sharp, and if there is a guest speaker, he/she will start at 8:10 pm sharp. Wednesday 30 July Club Night Newsletter Folding Night: Come along and help ready the latest newsletter for mail out. Use this as a chance to discuss upcoming trips and plans. Saturday 2 August Leader: Michael Newlove 355-8360 Departure point: 8AM 'Z' Carlton Corner Rakaia Gorge Walkway/Terrace Downs: This is a nice easy trip, Grade: Easy mainly following the cliffs and river terraces above the gorge, Closes: 31 Jul giving great views of the gorge and surrounding landscape. The walkway starts in farmland, then enters areas of regenerating Map: BX20 native bush. We will make a short detour to Terrace Downs for Approx: $20 morning tea and rejoin the walkway at the end where there is a good viewpoint. A short loop takes us down to the Rakaia itself and we return the same way, passing the disused Snowdon Coalmine. − 2 − Sunday 3 August Limited to five people Leader: Bruce Cameron 022 188 5905 Departure point: Z (Shell) Papanui 365 8210 [email protected] Ladbrooks Hill: This hill is located at the entrance to the Ashley Grade: Easy/Mod Gorge overlooking Lees Valley. Access from the gorge has now Closes: 31 Jul been restricted, so we are joining the Rangiora Tramping Club to devise a new (to the leader anyhow) route that's not across Map: BW22 private property. This trip is limited to 1 car load (5 people) due to Approx: $20 parking problems. Great views over the Ashley Gorge and Lees Valley Time 4 - 5 hrs. The backup alternative tramp is in the Lake Lyndon, Coleridge area. Sunday 3 August Leader: David Sutton 03 3318064 Departure point: Z (Shell) Papanui [email protected] Mt Winterslow: Mt Winterslow (1700 m) is north of Mt Somers Grade: ModHard and south west of Mt Hutt. The usual route is up from Sharplin (requires Falls (500 m) via Dukes Knob. From the summit there are snow skills) outstanding views including the distant Arrowsmith Range and the Closes: 31 Jul Southern Alps. Mt Cook and Mt Tasman may also be visible on a clear day. There are a few alternative routes we could take down Map: BX20 depending on the energy level and spirit of adventure prevailing in Approx: $30 the group. Ice axe and crampons may be required. There will possibly be an early departure so please contact leader. Wednesday 6 August Club Night Inca Trail to Machu Picchu by Natasha Sydorenko: The Inca Trail is by far the most famous trek in South America and is rated by many to be in the top five treks in the world. If it's not on your bucket list, it should be! In just 43 km it manages to combine beautiful mountain scenery, lush cloud-forest, subtropical jungle and, of course, a stunning mix of Inca paving stones, ruins and tunnels. The final destination of the trail just cannot be beaten: Machu Picchu, the mysterious "Lost City of the Incas." I would like to show you some pictures and share my stories of the Inca Trail, and other stunning landscapes of Peru. Saturday 9 August 10 am start Leader: Bruce Cameron 022 188 5905 Departure point: Princess Margaret Hospital 365 8210 [email protected] Port Hills (or McCormack's Bay): Enjoy a social tramp in Port Grade: Easy Hills. The specific route Bruce hopes to use is permission- Closes: 7 Aug dependent, but whatever the precise route, you'll get an interesting look around our own tramping back yard. About 4-5 Map: BX24 hours of easy walking, and all starting at the very civilised time of Approx: $5 10.00am. Back by 3 pm! Suitable for backpacks and kids in good weather. (The backup tramp will be McCormack's Bay.) Meet at Princess Margret Hospital on Cashmere Rd, opposite Bengal Rd. − 3 − Weekend 9-10 August Leader: Adrian Busby 325-5001 Departure point: Contact Leader SNOWCRAFT COURSE: The Basic Snow Craft Course is now Grade: Training filled. An overflow course, Basic Snow Craft II, will be held on Closes: 31 Jul September 6-7 and registrations are now open for this limited place course - see Warwick Dowling & 6-7 September for this one. Map: BV20 Approx: $40 + hut fee Sunday 10 August Leader: Bryce Williamson 351-6366 Departure point: Z (Shell) Papanui [email protected] Baldy Hill via Mt Manson: There are at least seven Baldy Hills in Grade: Moderate New Zealand. One of those seven is the northernmost summit of Closes: 7 Aug the Craigieburn Range. CTC trampers may not be aware of its name, but have quite possibly drooled over the glorious scree Map: BV21 slopes on its northern face, readily seen when driving south along Approx: $20 SH73 near Cass. The intention of this trip is to find out just how good those slopes are. We will climb the ridge south of Ribbonwood Steam, over Pt 1305 m to Mt Manson (1859 m), then circle around to Baldy Hill (1834 m) and down a suitable pile of shingle. All told, about 1500 m height gain and ca 14 km horizontal travel. Wednesday 13 August Club Night Food for Thought: I don't know about you, but I like food. Especially good, wholesome, nourishing food (a big chunk of moist, juicy carrot cake comes to mind... no wait, I was thinking about chick pea casserole!). Ditch your bag of chips and chocolate bars and come and tell us what really spins your gastronomic wheels, nurtures your soul and gives you wings on your tramping trips. I'm not sure how we'll put it together, but I'm thinking that we could make up a list of the bestest, yummiest ideas and distribute these among club members. If you don't already have a dehydrator, now might be the time to invest in one! Saturday 16 August Leader: Bruce Cameron 022 188 5905 Departure point: Z (Shell) Papanui 365 8210 [email protected] Mount Mason: Mount Mason (863 m) is located in North Grade: Easy Canterbury's Cavendish Hills between Hawarden and the Hurunui Closes: 14 Aug River.

  • The Arrowsmith Range Is a High Massif (Rising to 2795 M) in Central Canterbury, Between the Headwaters of the Rakaia, South Ashburton and Rangitata Rivers (Fig
    71 RECORDS OF THE FOREST AND SCRUB FLORA OF EASTERN-SOUTHERN ARROWSMITH RANGE VALLEYS COLIN BURROWS The Arrowsmith Range is a high massif (rising to 2795 m) in central Canterbury, between the headwaters of the Rakaia, South Ashburton and Rangitata Rivers (Fig. 1). Rivers and large streams draining from it include, on the north the Reischek, part of the upper Rakaia, and the Jagged and Lower Washbourne Streams; on the east the Lake Stream, and Cameron River; on the south-east the South Ashburton River and Paddle Hill Stream; on the south the Potts River; and on the west the Lawrence River. Between each pair of the Cameron/Ashburton and Ashburton/Potts rivers are long ridges, with summits becoming progressively lower towards the east and south. These terminate in scarp-like fronts facing the Lake Heron Basin and the Lake Clearwater Valley, respectively. Over the years several articles have included information about the flora of parts ofthe Arrowsmith Range (Speight et al., 1911, Burrows, 1977; Burrows & Russell, 1990; Burrows et al., 1993). The more westerly valleys (Lawrence, Reischek, Upper Rakaia) though disturbed by European burning, are relatively well-wooded. In the Lawrence occur patches of mountain beech {Nothofagus solandri var. cliffortioides) and mountain totara {Podocarpus hallii) - celery pine {Phyllocladus alpinus). The Reischek-upper Rakaia has areas of mountain totara-celery pine and rare cedar {Libocedrus bidwillii) (cf. Burrows, 1977; Burrows & Russell, 1990).
