For me the joy of the silly season really is getting together with friends and family – eating, playing games, eating, toasting with glass of bubbles ๐ฅ and lets face it – eating some more ๐, but these holidays can often be so busy and full that they go by in the blink of an eye and by the end you feel as if you need a break from your holiday …. go figure ๐คทโโ๏ธ.
After all the “festivities” taking the opportunity to get in a bush walk while all the whanau (family) is together is not only a great way to take stock, be grateful and breathe a little but is also a good way to burn off all those extra calories ๐
I managed to grab half a day away from the madness (“children”) to get out with a friend that was up from Christchurch; We walked theย Karangahake Summit Track in the Karangahake Gorge (SH2). It was a good 2 hour uphill battle and a stunning 360 degree view as reward, not a bad spot to enjoy some left overs for lunch …… and a candy cane for Christmas cheer.
Have you got an adventure planned during your break? We’d love to hear/see/read about it, follow us on Facebook and Instagramย and tag us @forestfamilynz to share your story.
