Nice video!

Hi Michelle. I just wondered how you are these days? I hope you are well. Do you plan on going for any more walks soon? It would be good to hair from you again and to see the lovely country side NZ has to offer in the way of tramping. Take care, regards Brendon.

[@brendonspittal2753]

Hi stranger. It's good to see you up and about tramping again. Thanks for sharing this lovely tramp with us. We might not be there in body but we are coming along with you in spirt. Hope to see your next tramp soon. Take care. Regards Brendon from South Island, west coast, NZ.

[@LongWhiteGypsy]

Hi Brendon, thanks so much for checking in! It feels good to be back. Hoping to have some more adventures coming your way soon!

That swing bridge was awesome, is your friend camera shy? I took a complete stranger follower on one of my adventures recently and couldn’t get him to speak or show his face - never again 😢

[@chrisyoung4384]

Hi , is the bridge very far from Woolshed hut ? Thanks for posting as I had no idea this bridge was here. Bit of a bridge fan.

[@LongWhiteGypsy]

Just a short 5 min walk! You have to cross the stream as if you’re continuing on the Mount Somers Track, then head right back the way you’ve come. If you’re walking in from Woolshed Creek car park you’ll see it on the other side of the stream as you approach the hut.

[@chrisyoung4384]

@LongWhiteGypsy thank you!

[@EagleEyeNZ]

How are you doing Michelle? Are you enjoying the move from Taupo to Christchurch?

[@ocin7917]

5km multi day?? That’s what I understood from your description.

[@LongWhiteGypsy]

Yep that’s right! It might not sound like a long walk, but it’s great for families and mid-winter trips.

[@ocin7917]

@@LongWhiteGypsy cool. Fair enough. I guess I think of multi-day as at least three. I might have described that walk as an overnight, but that’s just semantics. Thanks for posting it.
