Queenstown trip
Dec 20th 2009
Went down to Queenstown for the weekend on a grabaseat. Did a 13 hour run up to the Remarkables, a bit of a scramble to the peak and down into the Wye Creek Valley and back to Queenstown. Very boggy, and rough and many parts were not runnable, so it took a bit longer than…

Lake Colenso
Nov 22nd 2009
Did a fairly hard tramp to Lake Colenso in the Ruahines by a slightly roundabout route. Camped at the road end on Friday. Went the long way to the lake on Saturday and returned on Sunday with some fun navigation by compass only through thick cloud over the tops and without tracks.
