Hiking March 2012

Hi! I'm going to be travelling around New Zealand throughout March, and I'd like to do as much hiking as possible. It's my first time visiting the country, so I'd love to have some company of someone's planning on doing some hiking at that time. I'm thinking about doing maybe one of the Great Walks, but I'm also interested in doing some that are less visited, and where accommodation is cheaper. I'm pretty experienced when it comes to hiking, having grown up in the fjord areas in Norway, and I've also done done rock climbing. I'll be 24 when I get to NZ. I don't have a fixed itinerary so I'm pretty flexible as to which hikes to do, but I'd like to spend the majority of the month on the south island. So please let me know if you have similar plans and would like to meet up! Anita
