South Temple Valley. Extreme Extreme Alert Alert

Ok, so the title is somewhat misleading.. in that it wasn’t an extreme weekend. But hey, I’m almost frickin’ 30.. cut me some slack. You don’t have to be extreme all the time. In fact, those who know me well would definitely argue that I am something of a slacker.

Anyway… enough of this… cabin fever set in, as did the weather (North of ChCh) so Maaike and I headed to Ohau area for the weekend. It’s a really lovely part of the country – especially in winter. We did a really cruisey (3 hour – at a leisurely pace) walk into the South Temple Valley.

It does have some pretty nice scenery – definitely worth a drop in if you are in the area and fancy an easy walk.

Then beautiful views of Mt. Cook on the way back.

Getting a little nervous about the olde 30th rolling in. My flatmate Mark informs me that any birthday with a zero in it means a month of parties. We’ll see. I’ve been trying a Chiropractor and today a Massage Therapist to try and piece my broken (3 year old squash injury) back into shape. Perhaps my 30s will usher in a new era of fantasticness. Well see.
