Hiking backcountry with the lads! Cheeseman & Olympus!

by julian on April 2, 2014 in Uncategorized with Comments Off

Here’s some pics from a hike I did with Gavin and Si Sharp. We did 3x 2000m+ peaks in a few days and a few nights camping in an alpine tent by a tarn. I have to say this pushed me quite a bit. I now have a new appreciated of what ‘mountain fit’ means!!

Great company and a good time in perfect weather. We climbed Mt Cheeseman, Mt Olympus and Mt Cockayne. Nice meal at Arthurs Pass to finish it all off on a high note!

Possibly the worlds nicest tent spot Winking smile

This gives a feel to the sort of altitude we were at. Pretty high up!

We found this plaque at Arthurs Pass. Have a read as it’s fantastic!

Here’s the lads taking on a decent feed after all the effort. Loved it…

Awesome Fiordland Trip!

I was lucky and blessed enough to be given the opportunity to go tramping with Gavin and some old mates on the Milford Track in Fiordland in Jan.

I went with Gavin, Darren, Gareth, Leigh, Simon and Annette. Awesome bunch of people who have all played a part in my life at some point. It was a great trip, and although the legs are a little sore, I’m glad I made the effort. Looking forward to another trip again in the near future!

It just drove home to me that life is too short to pass up opportunities and we need to get out there and experience things while we can!

Here’s some pics!
