About me

I'm Michal - tramper, photographer, slow life lover. I write only about the places that I've been to and the gear that I tried for an extensive period of time. That's why I don't write about gear almost at all.

Tramper getting lost in the New Zealand bush. Sometimes with my 4 years old kid, and other times with the Christchurch Tramping Club

Mt Wall with the @christchurchtrampingclub folks was pretty good last weekend. I may have undergraded the trip as usual but nobody died and at least some members want to go with me again so it was success #christchurchtrampingclub #ctcnz #newzealandtramping #nztramping #trampingnz

My best bro @hanssolo16 and I did some exploring around Brodrick Hut in Huxley Valley last weekend. Holy moly what a beautiful stuff can be found around there area! A weekend full of gossips, dreams sharing and cooking over the fire #lakeohau #brodrickhut #trampingnewzealand #nztramping

Another one with kiddos: Avoca Homestead. Pretty civilised walk to a place with wild apple trees and black berries. Older kids learnt a proper river crossing technique, younger kids just let us carry them 🤗 5 am quick mission to Black River hut secured another bagged hut #trampingnewzealand #trampingwithkids #kids #avocahomestead

Fantastic weekend on the Coast full of tramping, track cutting, and fog. Rapid Creek Hut to Eplorer Hut. Epic. Though I wish we could see something 😁 #rapidcreekhut #explorerhut #westcoasttramping #westcoast #ctcnz #christchurchtrampingclub #nztrackcutting #nztramping

Memory building with the kid in Lewis Pass. After Elliot and my partner went to bed, I sneaked out to Upper Nina Biv for a solo night mission #trampingwithkids #lewispass #ninahut #upperninabiv #hikingwithkids #nightramping

Mt Philistine. Good mountain to climb. My second time up there. Large mountain daises in full blossom. Funky clouds. Perfect day #mtphilistine #ctcnz #christchurchtrampingclub #arthurspassnationalpark #arthurspass

The track-cutting mission to Pell Stream Hut went well. We spent about five hours per person cutting and marking a track to this beautiful and rugged location, yet it feels like a drop in the ocean. There’s so much work to be done on community-maintained tracks! #pellstreamhut #permolat #permolatgroup #pellstream #ctcnz #christchurchtrampingclub

Last weekend we went up to Woolshed Hill where we spent the nigh by a little tarn. It was a great trip but quite ambitious for the little legs ☺️ It's still about 6 km and 900 vertical metres so Elliot needed some help on the way up. The day after he walked down no problem. Happy holidays everyone! #woolshedhill #arthurspassnationalpark #trampingwithkids #trampingnewzealand
