All our walks are led by volunteers and are planned one week in advance.  If you don't see an itinerary on our homepage, that means no one has proposed anything yet.  And if one is not posted by Saturday, you can safely assume that there is no walk the following day.

We communicate via our website and we do not maintain a mailing list.

We are in Wikipedia
Written by JB Mroch   

I have made 3 or 4 treks with the Trampers, and I have fond memories. I was reading the Wikipedia article about "Tramper" and thought that your web site would be an excellent reference, so I included it. See this link:

Hope to see you again soon,

  • Check the boot rating of the walk, estimate your capability realistically, and ENSURE that you can finish the walk at a crisp pace.
  • Show up PUNCTUALLY (no later than 10 minutes after the meeting time) at the meeting point of the walk.
 
A recap of our boot system
Wonder what a boot is? See explanation of our boot system. Easy relaxed walking, usually along the flat or with a few low hills involved. Suitable for inexperienced hikers.

Requires endurance and not suitable for walkers who have difficulties in high places. 3 boots maybe allocated to a walk because of its length and/or because it involves elevations over 500 metres and/or tough walking. Not recommended for novice hikers.
