Chillaxing on the lawn…

We put a couple of tents up today. Jack has his mate Braeden over for the night and Livvy was just chilling out… Nice sunny day!

Hiking backcountry with the lads! Cheeseman & Olympus!

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!

Jack’s Solo mission!

Jack’s solo mission in the tent. He did all night by himself to proving to me he’s brave enough to go camping for real!
