Kura Tawhiti (Castle Hill)
Korwlai-Torlesse
Another weekend with the Christchurch tramping club. On Saturday we hiked up to the peaks in Kowlai-Torlesse Tussocks Parkland. There were some pretty nice views from up there. We experienced 3 seasons in one day, with the weather changing drastically from one side of the mountain to the next. Then we headed to Arthur's pass where the club owns a hut (which is really a cabin in the town) and celebrated mid-winter Christmas. No turkey in these parts- just ham and roast beef with a bunch of different root vegetables (of which several I had never heard of before). On the way home from Arthurs pass we stopped at Kura Tawhiti which has spectacular limestone boulders (apparently some of the best bouldering in the world- and the Chronicles of Narnia was filmed nearby). I'll be back when the weather is nicer!
OMG!!!!! Those pictures are truly majestic . I think the last one looks like a picture taken in a movie or on a wall at someone's house. The limestone looks like it is lava. But I am sure you know your rocks.
