The CTC Home Page
The Christchurch Tramping Club (CTC) has around 250 members of all ages and runs tramping trips every weekend. Our trips range from easy (minimal experience required) to hard (high level of fitness and experience required). We also organise instruction courses, have some equipment for hire to members, and hold informal weekly meetings and other social events.

The new look for our National Parks?

Schedule 4 of the Crown Minerals Act lists areas of the DOC estate that, because of their unique scenic or conservation value, should be protected from mining. This includes all National Parks, Science and Nature Reserves and Wilderness Areas. The government is currently reviewing the legislation with a view to reducing that protection. If that concerns you (and it should!), please make your opinions known when the government invites submissions on its plans in February. Watch this space for details.

Members: don't miss the Round Mt Somers challenge. See here for details.
