Trentham (Wellington model Aircraft Club) Flying Field : Seddon Rifle Range, located at Trentham Army Camp Trentham, north of Wellington in Hutt Valley
No engine starts before 9am

Our principal radio flying site is adjacent to the Seddon Range, at Trentham. Before you set out to fly, you can check the weather on our great Trentham weather station. To get there, go along Fergusson Drive in Upper Hutt to the lights at Sutherland Street. Proceed along Sutherland, across the railway line after which the road becomes Messines Ave. Keep going until the road veers to the left at the end. Just past the first of the wooden clubrooms on the right, there is a driveway to the right. Go in the driveway and up over the stop bank. Click on the thumbnail map below for a larger image.

There is a gate on the other side. If there is a red flag flying and the range is in use, do NOT enter, unless the shooting is taking place at the far end of the range. If there are cars at around the 500 meter mound, proceed through the gate with caution, leaving it open or closed, as you found it (actually, the gate seems to be missing at present). Park in accordance with the other cars. Sheep graze the area so you may find gumboots helpful.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DRIVE OR PARK ON THE MOUNDS.

Flying for power aircraft takes place to the right (West) of the fence, and the strip is enclosed with an electric fence. Soaring usually takes place to the left (East) of the parked cars. Make yourself known to any club members present, and they will make you welcome. You may fly at Trentham only if you are affiliated to the NZMAA, have attained your "Wings" badge, AND there is a WMAC member present There is a standard NZMAA frequency board in use. Please do not turn on your transmitter without the proper peg in your possession.
