weeknd tramps from ashburton
Go alone, get amongst it.
Here are some easy hikes I have done alone in one day close to ashburton and there are many more that I have not written up yet so just ask if you need some ideas.

Hi Chriso12 I'm keen on climbing Mount Taylor. I have been trying to find some info on access etc but im having trouble finding anything. Give me a buz of you are keen for that at some stage. I live local and can get away at pretty short notice.

@MikeRead: I've climbed Mt Taylor a couple of times from the South Branch of the Swin, upstream from Double Hut. Might be nice to do it from Taylor Stream via that 4WD track and camping at a tarn on the way too.
Some people may even climb it from that col between the Swin and Boundary Stream when they come from Comyns Hut. From the Swin, it's absolutely straightforward but a big height gain of 1150 metres. We did it in a day in late spring both times. Lew Shaw will probably know quite a bit about routes to Mt Taylor.
Climb it from woolshed creek hut, its one of the best ways, or go up and climb it by going over old man peak via the new doc land up the river.
Chriso - I would be interested. Live in Christchurch.
Text me on 021 023 39139.
