Hiking with @shaleen_k who took this beautiful pano shot up #peakhill today. I’m actually chatting to Kitty on the walk-in talkie as she hung out at #lakeColeridge below with Rick. She’s far too heavy now fir the big steep hikes. . . . #nzmustdo #christchurchcanterbury #canterburynz #hike #hikewithfriends #hellofaclimb #beautifulviews #lakeviews #selwyn #mountains #viewsofporters #hothike #hotsun #panorama
The run that turned into a teeter on a cliff edge. Loved admiring the power of the waves and feeling the cool spray on my face. . . . #okainsbay #bankspeninsula #canterburynz #nzmustdo #waves #power #surf #crashingwaves #runningnz #runningwithfriends #cliffedge #getout #canterbury #coast #bays #camplife #southisland #emmigrate #runningmums #timeout
It wasn’t forecast but the sun is out! Kitty and I headed up #godleyheadtrack and she walked all the way to the lookout point and back. Too big to be carried now and all it took was some gentle bribery with raisins and bananas. May need to pull out the big guns (chocolate) for a longer walk. . . . #summertime #gettingherhiking #walk #taylorsmistake #sea #surf #succulents #walkingtrack #mummydaughtertime #nojanuaryblues #viewsandbannanas #cliffs #seabirdsnesting #seabirds
