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.

My friend Jacob came from Czechia to do his Work and Travel Aoteaora adventure. He stayed with us for a few days so I took him out to get some views. I chose Mt Bruce as it's got some good views over the area yet it is still not as demanding as some other peaks in Arthur's Pass at this time of the year. The northern side was completely snowless. We also discovered a good track marked with a pink tape that starts about 1 km south from A Frame hut :) #arthurspassnationalpark #arthurspass #mtbruce #nzmtbruce #hiking #nztramping #nzhiking #tramping #nzwinter

A few more shots from the last weekend's trip. We walked from Evans Pass to Godley Head, down to Boulder Bay and back to Evans. It was a very nice loop actually, Boulder Bay makes up for a great lunch stop. Perhaps my favourite loop decent walks in Port Hills #ctcnz #christchurchtrampingclub #hiking #hikingwithkids #tramping #trampingwithkids #porthills #trampinginporthills #walking #walkinginporthills #newzealand #taylorsmistake #boulderbay #boulderbaynz #kids

This is Bernard, one of the oldest active members of the @christchurchtrampingclub, and my 21 months old son, by far the youngest regular attendee of the CTC trips. That's what I love about the club - there could be up to 3 generations difference between trampers and they still find ways to communicate, share and learn together 😊 This shot was taken during last weekend's CTC trip in Port Hills. cc @federatedmountainclubs #ctcnz #christchurchtrampingclub #nzhiking #kidstramping #tramping #trampingwithkids #hikingnz #trampinnz #hikingwithkids

Last weekend I did a good trip to Port Hills on less known tracks. We started off at Duncan park and went up via Fridze Ridge, along the tops to Lyttelton and along the pipeline back up, taking Castle Rock ridge as our descent route. Here are a few photos from it. I don't want to get ahead of myself but the photos do have summery vibes ay? #ctcnz #christchurchtrampingclub #christchurch #tramping #hikingnz #hiking #nzhiking #walking #porthills #porthillstramping #porthillswalking #walkingnz

I'm not sure about you but I really enjoyed the last supermoon! I led a trip to Foggy Peak (1741m) in Torlesse Range. We drove to Porters Pass after work and reach the top around 9.40 PM. It was so bright that we didn't even need head torches! Very memorable and special experience #christchurchtrampingclub #ctcnz #foggypeak #craigieburnrange #craigieburns #nzhiking #nighthiking #tramping #trampingnz #nztramping #canterburyhiking #canterburytramping #torlesserange #canterburynz #nzwinter #supermoon #fullmoon

Last weekend I led a handful of CTC souls to Mt Oxford. We were lucky enough to find a gap between the weather systems: an hour earlier we'd have missed the summit because of strong wind gusts, and an hour later and we'd have got rained on! #mtoxford #canterburyfoothills #canterbury #christchurchtrampingclub #ctcnz #newzealand #hikingnz #tramping #trampingnz #nztramping

Last weekend I took Mr kid to Helicopter Hill in Craigieburn's. When I put him on snow, the first thing he figured out was that he can eat it. That's a big plus and advantage compared to, let's say, mud (though he used to eat it mud too but let's not share too much from his life). We have quite a few trips planned ahead so you may get bombarded with more and more photos from trmaping with kids :) #trampingwithkids #kidshike #hikingwithkids #helicopterhill #craigieburns #craigieburnrange #newzealand #winter #nzsnow #nzwinter #winterinnewzealand #kidsinsnow #tramping #hiking

Last weekend, I took my kid to Packhorse hut from Kaituna Valley. This was my kid's 2nd visit up here. He was there for the first time when he was only 7 weeks old. It feels like it was last month and yet it was over 18 months... Look at him now - he can walk (not far though), say a few words... in no time, he'll be faster than me! #trampingwithkids #trampinginporthills #porthills #hikinginporthills #hikingwithkids #kidstramp #trampingwithtoddlers #hikingwithtoddlers #toddlers #hiking #nztramping #nzhiking #packhorsehut #packhorsetrack #summitroadsociety

Sunset above my tent at Woolshed Creek hut. Perhaps the most insane sunset I've seen with a red northwest arch right above us #woolshedcreekhut #trampingwithkids #hakatereconservationpark #hakatere #trampingnz #tenting #campingnz #camping #nzcamping #hiking #hikingnz #tents
