The best of intentions

Hiking in NZ is so organised you wouldn't believe it. Every two-bit town has a Dept of Conservation office or tourist information place with detailed maps and advice about the local walks and hikes. When you go on any kind of decent walk, you are supposed to register your intentions on, er, an intentions sheet, so they come looking for you if you don't return.

So I register my intentions here. Tomorrow, weather permitting, I climb Avalanche Peak (!), where hopefully I will get my first glimpse of the snow-capped Southern Alps. If I don't blog again soon, send the rescue party :-)
