To boost my #52peakschallenge I knocked off 5 peak

To boost my #52peakschallenge I knocked off 5 peaks on Sunday: n13 Izard, n14 Cloudsley, n15 Enys, n16 Carn Brea, n17 Leith Hill. Beautiful weather but a quite chilly breeze - autumn is definitely here! #craigieburnrange #craigieburns #mtcloudsley #mtizard #mtenys #nztramping #52weeks52peaks #tramping #trampingnz #hikingnz

A couple of weeks ago I did a trip to Sudden Valle

A couple of weeks ago I did a trip to Sudden Valley. It's quite hard to access but the valley itself is really amazing. So close to Christchurch but the feeling of isolation and wilderness is prevelant there #suddenvalley #nztramping #trampingnz #tramping #hikingnz #arthurspassnationalpark #arthurspass #hutbagging

Fantastic trip to Lewis Pass where I led a trip to

Fantastic trip to Lewis Pass where I led a trip to Mt Faust and Mephistopheles which became my peaks #11 and #12. I migh really make at to 52 at the end of the year! We'll see how it goes, still plenty of peaks to go and a wee son at home too! 🐣 #52peakschallenge #52peakschallenge2021 #52peaks #lewispass #mtfaust #mephistopheleslewispass #nztramping #tramping #trampingnewzealand #hiking #christchurchtrampingclub #nzhiking

My peaks #9 and #10 of my #52peakschallenge were M

My peaks #9 and #10 of my #52peakschallenge were Mid Hill (1831m) and Packard Peak (2066m). Packard was a beast, mostly because it's so far from the road end but the track is a bit gnarly too. Even with a night at Lagoon Saddle Hut it took us 7h to the summit and 6h back to the carpark. Great 13h day out with @hanssolo16 #packardpeaknz #packardpeak #midhillnz #midhill #tramping #trampingnz #nztramping #hiking #nzhiking #hiking #nzhiking

My 8th peak in this year's 52 Peaks Challenge was Mt Bealey in Arthur's Pass. Great day out with the Christchurch tramping club as usual ☺ As a trip leader, I lost only 2 people but found 1 so technically I lost only 1 person which is acceptable. This photo shows the group looking down down at the scree that wee took on the way down #christchurchtrampingclub #arthurspassnationalpark #arthurspass #mtbealey #mountbealey #ctcnz #tramping #trampingnewzealand #52peakschallenge #52peaks52weeks #52hikechallenge #52hikechallenge2021

One of the most epic lake I've visited is Browning Lake or Whakarewa. It's sitting on the top of a mountain to which someone has chopped the top off so the blue water can forever sit on the heights. Did I swim in it? Of course I did! #browningpass #browninglake #whakarewa #threepasses #3passes #westcoast #tramping #nzlakes #nztramping #hiking #hikingnz #nzhiking #lakes #hikes #hiking

Just finished Three Passes. So good! #threepasses
