Gone tramping

With a long weekend to kill, we decided to try out our first 2 night tramp since getting back to NZ. The plan was to head up the West Matukituki valley to Aspiring Hut and then on up to French ridge hut and out on the third day. However with gale force winds and a severe rainfall warning we retreated after the first night. Maybe next time.

Looking up towards Mt Aspiring, French ridge is the second on the right.

Shit storm racing down the valley.

Month in review

Thankfully its been a sunny past month. Not so thankfully we have spent most of it inside working. Some pics from when we got outside.
