Hi everyone,
Our first trip of the year is next weekend (2rd - 4th March) to the amazing location that is Paradise (yes, this is the actual name). If you want to come you must attend the pre-meeting on Tuesday 27th at 7PM in BURNS 2 LECTURE THEATRE. You must be a member of the club if you want to come on this trip. You can sign up at our meetings on Tuesday from 5-6, you cannot sign up at the premeet. The trip will cost $65 and you must bring this to the premeet as we take payment on the night so we can organise food etc. The pre-meeting will involve information explaining what equipment you will need for the weekend and what trips are available (there is a range of easy, medium and hard trips), as well as a discussion with your group leaders to what kind of food you want to cook for the contest on Saturday night.
Quick overview of the Paradise Trip:
Meeting at Clubs and Societies at 5pm on Friday (2rd of March) and travelling to Paradise via Bus/Vans (approx 5hrs travelling).
Staying at Lake Sylvan Campsite
Easy, Medium and Hard day walks going out on Saturday
Some activities Saturday night
On Sunday take part in our river-crossing training then have a swim in Lake Sylvan
Depart the campsite for Dunedin at approx 1pm on Sunday
There will be a lot more information at the premeet. If you know of anyone who is intending to come to Paradise, tell them that they MUST sign up at the Club meeting (Tuesday, 5-6pm, OUSA building, Albany St) prior to the pre-meet at 7pm.
Regarding river-crossing, if you do it on Paradise you are not required to come out to the course we'll be running a course on the Wednesday the 14th of march to attend Fiordland. We'll send out a email next week regarding signing up for that course.
