So.. the other day we headed out to visit our friends Mike & Heather who live towards Mt. Oxford. Mike suggested heading for a quick walk up Mt. Oxford.
Generally, when living so close to the Southern Alps you kinda think that the closer Canterbury hills are just that.. hills. In reality of course, they’re still reasonable bumps on the landscape. You go from ~340m up to 1364m. We booted up and down in 4 1/2 hours or something (my thighs burned for 4 days! definitely not used to running down hill). This really is one of the wonderful things about living in New Zealand and in Christchurch – quakes ‘n all.
Good times.
