wingman

Trying to find time to tick off the bucket list tramps...

The plan is one great walk a year....and at least one other medium 4-5day tramp at least once a year.

Most of my tramping is near Wellington - Tararuas, Orongorongo River Valley...and occasionally will go up to Tongariro.

So many tracks.....so many potential adventures....so little leave...
