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.

The track-cutting mission to Pell Stream Hut went 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 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
