Tramping with the boys in the kaikouras

Styx mill reserve

Completely blocked after the winds last night.

An extravagant lunch

From broodebakers in Blenheim.   Eating at Wither Hills where I ran last night.   Figure between the run and the food wither hills has me calorie neutral!

Blenheim at night

I went for a run up in the hills above Blenheim at Wither Hills Farm Park.   Spectacular and highly recommended! 

Robert Ridge - Lake Angelus

This one was taken from further up the ridge

Lake Angelus

One of my favourite tramps is the route up to Lake Angelus, perched in between Lakes Rotoroa and Rotoiti in Nelson Lakes National Park.

This shot is taken from low down on one of the easier routes up to the lake - Robert Ridge. This ridge rises from the north-west side of Lake Rotoiti - here we see back down the ridge towards the Lake, and across to St Arnaud.

Cannibal Gorge

I planned a trip into Cannibal Gorge on the St James Walkway with the boys, and even managed to get dad to come along - its only my second tramp with him since my mid-teens so very exciting for me (and the boys).

Cannibal Gorge so named because human bones were found there, it is thought that a Maori party were cornered in the Gorge, and subsequently "disposed" of.
