Taking some time off work, spending time in bush and on the ocean in a kayak. Not guiding on the Milford Track this year, but would recommend this job to anyone who wants to spend some time in the outdoors and meet a lot of very interesting people.

Always keen to hook in with other trampers.

Goal this 19/20 season is to get into the top 150 on hutbagger.co.nz. Currently at 159.

Best tramp so far this year, a Pinnacles Spur crossing in the Tarauras, from Ruamahanga Gorge Road to Poads Road, was challenging. Arete is worth the work. Ticked off seeing Park Valley which I have wanted to do for a very long time.
