What a hot weekend- it got up to 34 C! It stayed fairly breezy though which was actually good. The trip I was originally supposed to go on got cancelled due to 115 km/hr winds in the mountains. But this was a nice 3 hour walk just 45 minute drive from Christchurch. Notice all the dead fall- they cut down all the trees for livestock. It is amazing to see what the forest was like before it was cleared. The last 20 minutes of the walk was in the old growth part of the forest. In the first photo, that tree is supposedly 2000 years old! (I don't know if it's true or not!)
