Hi, I'me travelling through NZ from 15.11.22 to 11.2.23. Have got a car to travel around and brought all my hiking stuff including tent to do some tracks/ great walks....sadly not my climbing gear. Met already a bunch of lovely people kiwis and travellers and looking forward to meet other travellers, hikers, climbers to spent time with - short or travel-buddy or sister like - on the way, on tracks, campsites, share stories, cook, have glass of wine... I stay at the moment at a friend's home in Napier...thought to be there for Christmas but now earlier (weather!😏) so in the way again over Christmas and New year.
