A selection of a few tramping trips that I have done (some of these with the Christchurch Tramping Club)...
Lake Mavis - Williams Saddle - Summer 2002/2003
|
Three days of good weather forecast, started with a tramp up the Mingha River to Goat Pass, then straight up to Lake Mavis, where I camped beside the partly frozen lake. |
| The next day I continued up and over to Tarahuna Pass, and then down the Edwards Valley. From the Edwards hut, I climbed up to Williams Saddle where I camped. The next day I headed back down to Mingha and out. | |
Traverse - Sabine - Blue Lake - Lake Angelus, Nelson Lakes National Park - Winter 1999
 |
Having tramped up the Traverse (with side trip to Cupola basin) and over Traverse Saddle, I hung a left at the Sabine River and headed on up to "Blue Lake". This beautiful small lake has an amazing blue colour when viewed from above. |
| Down the Sabine to Sabine Hut, then a huge climb up Mt Cedric and along the snowy tops to Lake Angelus. This is a shot of the Lake Angelus Hut. From there it was a pleasant stroll down the Robert Ridge back to the carpark. |  |
White River - Barker Hut - Arthurs Pass National Park - Spring 1997
 |
A trip with the CTC up the White River to Barker Hut. |
Avalanche Peak - Crow River - Mt Bealey, Arthurs Pass National Park - Summer 1998
| A very popular trip up over Avalanche Peak (immediately behind Arthur's Pass Villiage) and over into the Crow Valley. Mt Rolleston is in the background. On this trip I came back out over Mt Bealey back to the villiage. |  |
