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 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
Recently, I've been into track cutting. Here are a Recently, I've been into track cutting. Here are a few photos from my trip with @hanssolo16 to the West Coast where we did some track maintanance of a track between Mid-Styx hut and Newton Range Biv. It's great to know that your tramping trip (otherwise pretty selfish) can make a positive difference to the outdoor community #westcoast #trackcutting #midstyxhut #newtonrangebiv

In the CTC, we sometimes do trips from the series In the CTC, we sometimes do trips from the series "Let's Do It in a Day." This one was one of them, though it turned out to be a pretty leisurely adventure. We did the Jollie Brook Circuit with Cold Stream Hut, and it took us just under 8 hours, which is about 2 hours less than I thought it would take #ctcnz #christchurchtrampingclub #jolliebrook #jolliebrookcircuit #coldstreamhut #lakesumner #lakesumnerforestpark
Another trip to Port Hills for kids went well. 7 k Another trip to Port Hills for kids went well. 7 kids aged 2-6 years + 8 parents. Lovely day full of walking, play, scrambling, and boat watching #trampingwithkids #ctcnz #nzhiking #hikingwithkids #ctcnz #christchurchtrampingclub

A few snapshots from the last week trip to Rod Don A few snapshots from the last week trip to Rod Donald Hut with some good folks and their whānau. Elliot walked the whole thing without a single complaint 💪 #roddonaldhut #bankspeninsula #trampingwithkids #bankspeninsulanz
FFour weeks ago, I broke my toe. Since then, I've FFour weeks ago, I broke my toe. Since then, I've done some kayaking and I have to admit that I really like it! Yesterday, I paddled a few kilometers around Okains Bay and was joined by a few Hector's dolphins. Pretty special. Now I want a sea kayak under the Christmas tree! #okainsbay #kayakingnz #seakayaking #newzealandsea #nzkayaking
