About Me

I’m Jules – a tiny tramper and weekend adventurer. I’m not an athlete or an expert, just someone who loves getting outdoors. Originally a Brit, I decided to walk Te Araroa trail the length of New Zealand to celebrate becoming a Kiwi. I have since settled in Nelson at the top of the South Island, and continue to enjoy the backcountry most weekends.

    Hi there Jules,
    I did the walk from Queensbury to Mt Pisa return in February. Gloomy in the morning on the way up, but increasingly hot and sunny on the way back.
    Lovely views, and beautiful color contrasts from tussock, tarns, fields of yellow flowers, and lakes Dunstan, Hawea, and Wanaka.
    Never met another soul on my 10 hour hike.
    Nice to know someone else appreciates what an awesome place it is.
    Cheers Russell.
