Some more coastal exploration

You have to take advantage of the good weather while you have it here, so we went on a mission down the coast of the peninsula and had ourselves a fun time doing a little spear fishing... Video to follow!

Float On

Just spending a day exploring some beaches and body-surfing the tide


Sunday Adventures

This Sunday, we left on an adventure along the coast with our kiwi friend Niall with the intention of finding a good spot to dive and spear fish, however the swell was a bit too high.  Instead, we made the best of our trip and had a fun time exploring some rock formations on the beach and finished the day with some body surfing in the chilly water.

Long Gully Saddle

Here is a brief video recapping my hike up Mount McIntosh this weekend:


Back to the Mountains

I finally decided I've had enough of studying for a little while and took a weekend vacation up Mount McIntosh along the Long Gully Saddle.  Climbing a historic mine trail and traversing across some exposed rocky terrain, I found myself surrounded in a paradise of mountains at the summit.  I also happened to meet some friendly cows and mountain goats along the way.  This was a really unique hike with some spectacular views of Glenorchy.






Just some casual river crossing
