Three tramps in the Ruahine Forest Park
E
ighteen members of the Wednesday group Manawatu Tramping & Ski Club Club were met with the overcast, low cloud and intermittent drizzle that was destined to last all day at their arrival at the Rangiwhahia Car Park in the Ruahine For- By Bob Hodgson est Park, northern Manawatu. To complete the description, the clouds were so low on the tops that any anticipated views of the landscape were eliminated. Trip leader for the day, Marion, organised three groups; one of five to tramp to the Rangiwhahia Hut, one of nine to tramp Deadmans, and one of four aiming to tramp Deadmans then up through the tussock to the Left: Some of “The Deadmans 9” at the first high tarn.
