The G-A-P. Last week I finally got to The Gap and I was quite impressed with the sheer beauty of it. We also got bluffed out, got thirsty and hangry, walked through the most amazing blossoming broom field I came across and had basically a great day out :) #ctcnz #christchurchtrampingclub #thegap #thegapnz #torlesserange

Good trip to Mt Tripp (real name, ask Google!) in Rangitata River Valley. It's a less known area but worth a visit for views over Rangitata Gorge and Ashburton Lakes :) #rangitatariver #rangitatagorge #ctcnz #christchurchtrampingclub

Last weekend was one of my favourite trips with my kid. We, along with another family, went up to Rocky Creek Biv to do some gardening - I mean track maintenance. It was such a great, warm weekend full of fun, useful play, and guess what? The kids loved it! I don’t think I can go tramping with them again without a pair of secateurs #trampingwithkids #nztrackcutting #trampingnewzealand #hikingwithkids #rockycreekbiv #taiporiver

Last week I climbed Mt Harper with the @christchurchtrampingclub Pretty good trip in conditions close to perfection. It's actually harder tramp than expected and I'll gladly come back in the winter #mtharper #lakeclearwater #lakeclearwaternz #ctcnz #christchurchtrampingclub #ashburtonlakes #trampingnewzealand #nztramping

I've been staying locally recently. Dunno, just didn't feel like snow or battling drizzle. I walked here and there, from Mt Oxford and Bob's Biv to Quail Island and Okains Bay. I've had a pretty good time with both my kid and the #christchurchtrampingclub too. I'm excited about summery hikes and swims! #nztramping #ctcnz #trampingnewzealand #trampingwithkids

I feel lucky having my folks-in-law in Motueka. I can go for day walks to Anchorage Hut 😘 #abeltasmannationalpark #nztramping #trampingnz #anchoragebayhut #nzwalks #nzwinter

I haven't done many big tramps recently. I've been focused on my whānau and fast-paced walks in the Port Hills. I'm looking forward to some spring adventures coming up, though the spring winds and endless moisture might put a damper on many of them. :) Take care out there, my Insta friends #trampingnewzealand #trampingwithkids #porthills #porthillschch

From Newton Range Biv to Mt Brown Hut. Pretty epic journey full of track cutting, vertical knobs to climb over, and good conversations with @hanssolo16 Thanks buddy :) #trackcutting #nztrackcutting #permolatgroup #permolat #westcoast #nzwestcoast #nzwinter #mtbrownhut
