Winter has arrived to Aotearoa so I took Mr 18 mon Winter has arrived to Aotearoa so I took Mr 18 monts to Arthur's Pass to welcome her. We did some walks around and I let him play in snow. He wasn't very impressed actually but a local playground (literally one slide and a three wooden platforms) has scored a lot of points 😁 #arthurspassnationalpark #arthurspass #trampingwithchildren #trampingwithkids #trampingwithkidsnz #hikingwithkids #toddlers #hikingwithtoddlers
Can you smell it? Winter is in the air! There is b Can you smell it? Winter is in the air! There is barely any better tramping experience than bush, sun and snow, all in one day. This is a photo from last year's in snowy Lewis Pass #lewiss pass #nzwinter #nzsnow #nzhiking #nztramping #tramping #hiking #snow #newzealandwinter #winterinnz #hikinginsnow
This place is on the West Coast on Kokatahi River This place is on the West Coast on Kokatahi River is only seldomly visited. There is a good track to the gorge but to get to the start of the track, you have to cross private land which probably puts off most people. Once you get permission, it's not too far to get there. It's like a smaller, more private version of Hokitika George :) #hokitikageorge #westcoast #newzealand #hikingnz #nzhiking #trampingnz #tramping #hiking #newzealandrivers #doctracks #booboohut #kokatahiriver
Last weekend I did a wee adventure in Black Range. Last weekend I did a wee adventure in Black Range. I managed to traverse about half of it. I also crossed half of Craigieburns last year. I think I'm getting ready for the traverse of the whole Black Range, which would probably be 10h+ tramp with about 3km of ascent. I'll keep you posted! #tramping #nztramping #hiking #nzhiking #blackrange #broadstream #wildernesslodge #arthurspassnationalpark

Last weekend, the weather wasn't very cooperative Last weekend, the weather wasn't very cooperative for my epic trip to Lewis Pass so I had to cancel the trip. I put a much less exciting trip up to Mt Herbert. It's right on my doorstep, yet it always amazes me how pretty it is up there. Oceanic views, nice people, sun. Pretty chilled Sunday, yet 22 km, 1100 m up #christchurchtrampingclub #mtherbert #mtherbertnz #nzhiking #hikingnz #hiking #trampingnz #nztramping #tramping #porthills #bankspeninsula

Last weekend, I led a trip for the #christchurchtr Last weekend, I led a trip for the #christchurchtrampingclub to Lewis Tops where we spent a night. We climbed Mt Technical which had some great views but the most epic was the sunrise for sure. Seeing the sun rise over the mountain tops is always very special and precious to me #ctcnz #lewispass #lewistops #trampingnz #nztramping #hikingnz #nzhiking #newzealand #lifeinnz #tenting #sunrises #hiking #tramping #camping #nzcamping #newzealandcamping
