The Remarkables
If you’ve ever been to Queenstown, NZ you’ve felt the power of The Remarkables Mountain Range. Sitting pretty above town they keep a watchful eye over proceedings. This past weekend along with fellow adventurer Adrian Nankivell I went on an amazing trip. Our plan was to traverse the Remarkables from north to south along the tops – starting at the Remarkables Ski Field and ending in the small lake-side town of Kingston 45km away. The elevation profile looked insane – millions of ups and downs – nearly the entire route was on the long rocky ridge that extends the length of the mountain range. In the end we didn’t make it all the way to Kingston – we were thwarted by terrain that was a bit chewier then we wanted and made an early escape at the 30km point. The result was a trip that totally blew my mind – my eyes are wide open to what’s just out the front door... to be continued!
