December, 2012

  • On the top of Cobb Ridge our car, White Shit, dies in a cloud of steam coming from the radiator.

    We were supposed to get there, at the very end of the lake. But here we are... What to do? Shall we worry about the car? No! There is a marked trail starting just here, beside of our car: let's take it!

    Off course we have no idea of where this path leads: our maps are for the other side of the Cobb Valley.
    We don't even have a tent... But in New Zealand you can always find a hut when you need it :-)

    Often the old wood gets green. I don't know how.

    We were quite thirsty.. Actually we were supposed to walk along a river for the whole day, so didn't fill the bottles at home.
    But then, at lunch time, fortunately we encounter this beautiful stream.

  • At 6 pm we got to this shelter. Here there is see-saw (with Sylvia on it) and a map: it seams that we are at no more than two hours from a gorgeous hut... Perfect!

    A bridge on the way to hut.

    I rarely appear in the pictures because usually I'm the one who makes them. So I'm quite happy when someone makes a nice photo of me :-)

    A weka wandering about around the hut

    The path cross a forest, but here we are high on the mountains and the trees grow small...

  • 2012-12-23_09-21-32_Matteo

    ...Higher there are no trees any more.

    Sign with the length of the different trails.
    This photo is dedicated to Zorro Topolotto, he knows why.

  • Panorama in the direction of the Leslie Karamea track

    Panorama in the direction of our track track

    Again in the forest, but just for a short while.

  • 2012-12-23_11-50-16_Matteo

    And then we got the Peel Lake, a perfect place for lunch.

    Me and Conillo chatting after lunch.

    Bearded trees

  • 2012-12-23_14-54-30_Matteo

    Ciao from the tussok, see you at the next adventure!
    If you are wondering what happened with White Shit: fortunately only the fan was broken, not the radiator, so we had no problem to leave the mountains.
