Mt Princess ascent, St James Conservation Area
Pretty rugged ridge travel.
Mt Fyffe & Gables End, Kaikoura
Dumblane and Mt Charon, Hanmer Range
I liked these alpine plants. Not sure of their name.
Lewis Tops Route, Lewis Pass Scenic Reserve, Canterbury NZ
The walk starts off in attractive beech forest. This section was actually on the short unofficial track that starts at the summit of the pass.
Nina Valley to Nina Hut, Lake Sumner Forest Park
The Apprentice from Lewis Pass
I walked on from the summit maybe 100m to some rocks so I could sit down and have lunch. The ridge was a little bit gnarly.
Mt Fyffe & Gables End, Kaikoura
A type of enormous Speargrass that I'd not seen before.
Nina Valley to Nina Hut, Lake Sumner Forest Park
Dumblane and Mt Charon, Hanmer Range
Such colourful heathland. This was a real highlight of the walk.

Lewis Tops Route, Lewis Pass Scenic Reserve, Canterbury NZ
Very nice beech forest on the lower slopes.
Mt Princess ascent, St James Conservation Area
Some pretty steep slopes tested our nerve but were in fact easy to walk down due to deep slushy snow.
Mt Norma Route, Lewis Pass
You can see Sophia climbing the ridge to point 1642m.
