Ever thought of five days bush bashing in the Leslie Karamea or traversing the Waiau Pass in the Travers Sabine over to St James Walkway is a good idea but it remains just that? For many people balancing work with three weeks annual leave makes multi- day trips infrequent. Instead, single day, missions like backcountry biking, off-road running, ice climbing lcaol falls or walking in the foothills easily fit into your lifestyle. You can squeeze a quick fix out of any 12 hour time slot that has a Meterological Service guarantee. Come and see spectacular views of the Milford Track, Routeburn Track, Kepler Track and Stewart island tracks. My favourites places are Nelson Lakes Travers/ Sabine Circuit, Blue Lake, Durville Valley, Leslie -Karamea Track, Tablelands and Cobb Valley, Abel Tasman Track and Heaphy Track.
