The extra weeks holidays that I get for working at a Private school has it’s pro’s and con’s. Con’s no one else is off work (I know you all have lots of sympathy for me!), but the pro’s being time off work to do some exploring! I dropped Danni off at work and then headed towards Arthurs Pass for a bit of biking. Craigieburn forest is set up for skiing in the winter but in the summer has a number of tracks to explore. Tracks to start with as 7km up hill on the access road just to get warmed up! Then the next section was a little hairy to say the least! (Good job I didn’t take Danni on this one), traversing scree slops which were quite exposed were a new one for me! The reward for all the hard work was about 4kms at the end of sweet single track through beach forests, loved it! Drive back towards ChCh I stopped at Castle Hill, which I can only describe as Brimham rocks on steroids! Good day out and about, but the problem is the more place a go the more I want to do, time is running out will just have to cram as much as possible in!
