TRAMPING RULES
(To the Editor.) Sir,—ln Dr. Sutch's letter of yesterday he says: "There were two things we did contrary to tramping . rules. The .first was to sidle round the pinnacles instead of going over them; the second was to leave the ' tops ■ for the bush." Dr. Sutch ■ very wrongly claims these as contrary to trumping rules; they were amongst the few things, under the prevailing conditions, that his party did right. It is pleasing indeed to note that he acknowledged the statement, "we were not lost," to be unfortunate, and intended to ■ ho. jocular. That, I trust, will be acceptable to searchers and others, aud I hope, too, that it applies to the still more unfortunate remark, "and we were not i found." It was not my intention to be drawn again into correspondence, but in the , interests of younger trampcrs I feel a ■ correction is necessary.—l am, etc., F. W. VOSSELEK, President Federated Mountain , Clubs of N.Z.
