Trampers dropping into Siberia Valley

Thursday Night Meetings

The OTMC hold an evening meeting most Thursday evenings (see below for upcoming programme). Anyone with an interest in tramping or the outdoors are more than welcome to come along and find out what the club can offer. The door is open from 7.00pm and the meeting proper starts at 7.30pm. A structured programme normally follows some short club announcements. The programme often features a guest speaker talking about a tramping or outdoor related topic. Occasionally we hold training nights on various tramping subjects.

If you are interested in finding out more about the tramping club and tramping in our area then the club nights are often the best way to do so. You can sign up for weekend trips, or talk to leaders for the upcoming day and weekend  trips.

We are fortunate to own our own clubrooms which allows us to display a comprehensive map and photo collection on our walls.

Our clubrooms are located at 3 Young Street, St Kilda. Young Street runs off Prince Albert Road, the main road through South Dunedin leading to the beach. Our clubroom is identified by a large sign and is just behind the corner dairy.

Upcoming Social Programme

August 6 Brendan Penwarden -  To Mt. Sealy with R. Seeley
Rob and I made an attempt on Mt Sealy in the last week of March this year in beautiful sunshine for the duration.  Mt Sealy (2627) is on the Sealy Range in the Mt Cook region and usually accessed via the Mueller Hut route from Mt Cook Village. The peak is named after Edward Sealy (1839–1903) surveyor, photographer, and explorer, and was first climbed in January 1895.
Our three-day trip became a four-day event due to slightly optimistic expectation of climbing on day 2. The first night we camped outside Mueller Hut in one of the several cleared camping spots; then two nights on the Metelille Glacier under Sladden Saddle. There was no snow cover so all very icy. The route across to the glaciers is quite rocky requiring constant precision. We had a few potentially-serious near misses, and one fall.
August 13 Jade Pettinger - OTMC Quiz Night
