It was great and I appreciate that we spent a lot of time in nature #okainsbay #godleyhead #godleyheadtrack #trampingwithkids #hikingwithkids
Holiday with my whānau continues. We're mostly do Holiday with my whānau continues. We're mostly doing short walks around Canterbury like Otira Valley. My 2 years old is really on it now when we're moving in a group of people. He's very active and can walk a few kms. He'll be fitter than me in no time! #otiravalley #arthurspassnationalpark #arthurspass #otiravalleytrack #trampingwithkids #kidstramp #hikinhwithkids

It's quite handy though because my Czech family came for a visit so I'm not tempted to climb mountains. We're enjoying beautiful Abel Tasman National Park instead :) #abeltasmannationalpark #nzwalkingtracks #abeltasmancoasttrack #whariwharangihut #whariwharangibay #easterholidays
Recently, I've been pushing it a little bit by org Recently, I've been pushing it a little bit by organising day trips that usually take two days to complete. Last weekend, we went up to Sylvia Tops, Devils Den Biv, and back via Nina Hut, which turned out to be an epic 10-hour adventure with some amazing views from the tops #sylviatops #lewispass #devilsdenbiv #devilskinsaddle #devilsrampart #nzhiking #nztramping #christchurchtrampingclub #ctcnz #tramping #nzsummer
A few shots from Lower Salmon Biv, one of my favou A few shots from Lower Salmon Biv, one of my favourite huts around Christchurch. The track to the biv has been maintained by Honora and Frank, my local heroes who've done heaps for the Canterbury backcountry. I visited the hut a few months back and was amazed by how remote and pretty it was. You can get there either from Lees Valley of Wharfedale carpark. It takes about a day to get there but I wonder if CTC Keep up or die unit can do it as a day trip... Will give it a thought or two and may organise something at some point! #lowersalmonbiv #nztramping #dochuts #tramping #nzhiking #christchurchtramping #hiking #nzbackcountry
