Beech forest is my favourite. I love the moss on the roots and the contrast of the dark trunks against the green leaves. This is me leading the way up the Travers Valley, Nelson Lakes NP. . #masteringmountains with #macpac #mitoq and #radixnutrition. #whateveryouradventure .

The alpine meadow before Upper Travers Hut is just stunning. There's a snow-fed stream running through the tussock, sitting beneath the ice-laden faces. And what day for it! . #masteringmountains with #macpac #mitoq and #radixnutrition. #whateveryouradventure .

Mark, standing at the bottom of the amazing Travers Falls. The falls have an almost prehistoric feel about them -- it's like going back in time -- and you feel totally alone in its roar and spray. . #masteringmountains with #macpac #mitoq and #radixnutrition. #whateveryouradventure .

John Tait Hut with Mt Travers behind. I was tired by the time I arrived. I could feel the flu I'd been battling slowly get the better of me. John Tait Hut, with a roaring fire, was a welcomed reprieve. . #masteringmountains with #macpac #mitoq and #radixnutrition. #whateveryouradventure .

This is an amazing spot: the bridge, the waterfall, and the beautiful bush. And it means that the hut is around the corner! Nina and Mark take a break, just before John Tait Hut, Nelson Lakes NP. . #masteringmountains with #macpac #mitoq and #radixnutrition. #whateveryouradventure .

24 degrees centigrade, at 8:39am. How is this possible?! #hot #canterbury #summer (at Christchurch, New Zealand)

Regular rest is such an important part of tramping -- particularly when you have MS or some other #chronicillness.

The boat dropped us off at Coldwater Hut, Lake Rotoiti. It was bleak but that's what made it awesome. We couldn't wait to get into it and start hiking. . #masteringmountains with #macpac #mitoq and #radixnutrition. #whateveryouradventure .

Nina, excited to be heading out onto Lake Rotoiti, traveling to the beginning of the track.

The moving truck has come and gone and there are so many boxes! #toomanybooks. Nevertheless, we’re excited about our new life in #Christchurch. #unpacking with #macpac #MitoQ and #radixnutrition (at Bryndwr)
