Undertaking adventures in the New Zealand bush, hills and mountains...
Hi, Jon here. I
have been visiting the coasts, forests and mountains for many years, with
particular attention to the National Parks and Forest Parks close to Christchurch, my
home town.

I enjoy a variety of outdoor pursuits and I thought it might be nice to show people the kind of adventures you can enjoy here in New Zealand.

In this blog you will find information about tramping, hiking, outdoor equipment, tramping
food, the history of tramping in New Zealand, environmental issues, mountain biking, mountaineering and other outdoor concerns of interest to me.

I will also have reports about the trips I do including photos and information about the tracks, facilities and huts I use while visiting the iconic New Zealand back country. I will also discuss outdoor equipment, outdoor skills and the special nature of the New Zealand environment.
