Adventures on the iconic Great Walks of New Zealand.
Hi, Jon here. I have been visiting the coasts, forests and mountains of New Zealand 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 you the kind of adventures you can experience here in New Zealand.

In this blog you will find information about tramping on the ten Great Walks of New Zealand. I will include trip planning resources, up coming events on the Great Walks and news items.
