Canterbury Outdoor Activities

Thanks Alpine Rec for a fantastic week of learning and adventuring on the intro mountaineering course!

Enjoyed a lovely 3 days walking.

An experience of a lifetime especially landing on the mountain escarpment by helicopter and returning by ski-plane. A big 10 out of ten.
