NZ Two Thumb Range-Video

Postby HitchHiking » Mon 15 Oct, 2012 11:18 pm

Hi everyone,

I recently arrived back from another excellent trip to the South Island. This time I got you spend some time in the Two Thumb Range to the East of Tekapo.

I hope the video can do most of the talking as I cannot type enough to capture the beauty of the place.




Cheers

Well Huey and I made a really nice deal.... When I was backcountry he would have it rain and storm somewhere else and when I left that area he can then rain snow and what ever else he likes. This time he listened. I had -9 c one morning. :D

That sure is a beautiful place to go hiking. Looks breathtaking in the footage, i can imagine what it must off looked like in person. Paradise. Except for the cold.

Nice looking shelter.
