The annual 'post-Christmas' trip to the Club hut Blue Range Hut. Hopefully the ' wet-n-forget' will work on the hut walls and the air flow is better around the hut with the trimmed vegetation. Thanks to the club members who carried loppers, secateurs, saws and of course the BLUE cheese ! Great to have a shared lunch after our hot mahi in the sunshine.
We checked out the view to Cattle Ridge hut and looked for orchids and mistletoe on the return tramp to the road end.
The Masterton Tramping Club was formed in 1957 with the amalgamation of the YMCA Tramping Club and the Masterton Outdoor and Social Club.
At that time members were also participating in the construction of what was to be called Blue Range Hut, a joint exercise with the NZ Forest Service. For info about the upcoming Club trips, check out https://www.mastertontc.org.nz
