Peninsula Tramping Club

PTC is one of Christchurch's largest tramping clubs.

Based in Christchurch, New Zealand, the Peninsula Tramping Club is a large friendly club offering a wide range of trips, mostly in the central part of the South Island. See the trip list to see where we are going in the next month, or trip reports to see where we have been in the past.

The club consists of people of all ages who tramp for recreation.

We organise regular trips to cater for people of different levels of fitness and tramping experience.  Our trips range from easy to hard, and may be anything from day trips to long weekends to a week or more.

We also hold a monthly club meeting, and a variety of social events.

CLUB NIGHTS are held on the second Tuesday of each month in the Baptist Church Hall at 286 Oxford Terrace. This is located on the corner of Madras Street and Oxford Terrace, (see map) starting promptly at 7.45 pm. Doors open 7.30.

Hiring club gear for private trips. If you require tramping gear for a private trip and it is available on your dates, club members can hire out the PTC gear - contact the Quartermaster. Please note however that you will be responsible for the costs of any loss or damage at the value at the time of hire.

Monday 14 October 

St Albans Parks and Puzzle Walk then coffee at Ris'tretto.
Meet at 9.30am over the road from Ris'tretto Cafe at 670 Barbadoes St. We'll walk through the suburbs to Abberley Park where we can do an Adventure Lab Puzzle in the form of a virtual escape room. If you can download the free Adventure Lab app that would be great. Otherwise, we can share mine. The puzzle should take about 20 minutes as a collaborative effort. We’ll return via a different route to Ris'tretto for morning coffee and treats. If the weather is bad, we could just meet for coffee at 10.30am.
