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.

In the past, I'd take my time when tramping. Stopp In the past, I'd take my time when tramping. Stopping for a night here and there. Nowadays, with full time work and a family, I'm much more time efficient. Avalanche Peak to Crow Hut is normally tackled in 2 days but it's actually quite comfortable one day trip. Thanks @markjnicholls for leading :) Oh and it was my first tramp with @hanrosewatt! #ctcnz #christchurchtrampingclub #nztramping #tramping #trampingnewzealand #nzhiking #avalanchepeaknz #avalanchepeak #arthurspassnationalpark #arthurspass #crowhut

Our third CTC walk for kids led us to Helicopter H Our third CTC walk for kids led us to Helicopter Hill. It was a gorgeous day out with killing views over Craigieburn Range.

Last weekend I took my whānau to Cedar Flat Hut. Last weekend I took my whānau to Cedar Flat Hut. I was very proud of my 2 years old son who walked most of the way to the hut. We were all knackered when we came back to Christchurch but it was so worth it. Thanks to @hanssolo16 for coming along with us #trampingwithkids #cedarflathut #westcoasttramping #nztramping #tramping #trampingnewzealand #hikingwithkids

A windy forecast made me stay close to Christchurc A windy forecast made me stay close to Christchurch last weekend. I led a trip up to Mt Fitzgerald which was really lovely with some good company. We also visited Rod Donald Hut which reminded me I should go back there with my kid soon #bankspeninsula #bankspeninsulatrack #tearapataka #ctcnz #christchurchtrampingclub #christchurchhiking #christchurch #nzhiking

Saturday's trip to Mt Richardson has been quite a Saturday's trip to Mt Richardson has been quite a surprise. Not by snow but by the amount of water that was falling from the trees. The melting snow was bucketing down so quickly that we all got soaked down to our undies in no time. Still a fun day out! #christchurchtrampingclub #ctcnz #christchurchhiking #mtrichardson #mtrichardsonsummit #canterburyfoothills #nztramping #nzwinter #trampingnewzealand #trampingnz
