Learns with mt Hutt

Week 5

Fantastic tramp last week and well worth the wait. All students showed good teamwork and demonstrated what they learnt about crossing rivers. This week we start our virtual field trip to the Ashburton Lakes area and I am sure our tramp experience will have great examples of what Andrew and his team get up to.
We have an on-line audio conference on Tuesday at 9:00 Any body can listen in to some of us, asking questions to the experts. Go to the LEARNZ link our user is Methven9 pass word ........
