Up the Montain

After two days it’s stopped raining! Today was a perfect day and so I went for a walk up to the summit of Avalanch Peak which dominates the Arthurs Pass Landscape. It’d supposed to be a 3 hour walk to the summit however as with most DOC (Department of Conservation) walk times they are well off and the summit was actually reachable in half that time. The first part of the walk is through thick trees before passing above the bush line where the stunning views over the area begin. It meant I got to watch a helicopter flying through the valley below from above! That’s a somewhat strange experience!

Tomorrow it’s due to rain again, thankfully i’m leaving and heading back to Christchurch for a night before heading to Kaikoura!
