Not really a flying day today, so I asked around if anyone was up for a little trip to the Quailburn Track, there were and so we went, here we have just arrived by car and this is looking back towards the Benmore Range<\/p><\/div>\n

John, who was kind enough to use his car to get us all there, quickly made himself some makeshift walking poles<\/p><\/div>\n

Group photo from left to right: John, Rick, Sol(omon), Kristoff, me<\/p><\/div>\n

I keep hoping someone loses his balance and falls\/steps into the little stream we are constantly crossing (wet feet, haha!) but alas, it doesn’t happen<\/p><\/div>\n

Up and up<\/p><\/div>\n

Almost there, Rick!<\/p><\/div>\n

The Bush Line<\/p><\/div>\n

Rick and Sol, such adventurers! From the Bush Line you can continue to the East Ahuriri River which is another hour<\/p><\/div>\n

We do indeed continue (but won’t go all the way to the East Ahuriri River)<\/p><\/div>\n

View towards the Ahuriri<\/p><\/div>\n

We are in NZ so somewhere there has<\/strong> to be a fence that serves no purpose<\/p><\/div>\n

This is how far we went before returning, just far enough to give us a view towards the Ahuriri<\/p><\/div>\n

I was missing on the previous photo so asked Kristoff to take this one of me<\/p><\/div>\n

Sol with his ‘Edelweiss’, so happy!<\/p><\/div>\n

Sol single-handedly preventing this tree from falling over, hero!<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve been here before<\/a> a few times, it has changed quite a bit after some storm I believe, so sad<\/p><\/div>\n

So dangerous!<\/p><\/div>\n

Giving the ludicrous NZ housing prices this ‘Townhouse with potential, looking for a new and loving owner’ would likely still sell for half a million<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
