Thought I’d share a few of my favourite shots from a 3-day backpacking trip my mate and I did through the Wilberforce Valley in New Zealand.

One of the most remote places I’ve hiked so far. We carried everything in, camped beside the river each night, crossed plenty of rivers, and had unreal weather the whole trip.

Definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re looking to get away from the crowds. Happy to answer any questions about the route, gear, or the area.

Enjoyed filming the entire thing with my mate and if you’re interested just uploaded on @SkitzOutdoors Youtube!

Just got back from a 3-day hike through the Wilberforce Valley in New Zealand and thought I’d share a few shots from the trip.

The main bits of gear I used were an Osprey Atmos AG 55, Salomon XT-6s, and an Arc’teryx Alpha SV. They all held up really well over three days carrying a full pack through river crossings and some rough terrain.

Happy to answer any questions about the gear, the hike, or why I chose this setup. My mate and I also filmed the trip while we were out there, so I ended up making a video from it afterwards. Can check out the video if interested at @SkitzOutdoors on YouTube! Would mean a lot

Just wanted to share a few photos from a 3-day camping trip my mate and I did through the Wilberforce Valley in Canterbury, South Island, New Zealand.

We carried everything in, camped beside the river, cooked all our meals out there, and spent the trip exploring one of the most remote places I’ve been. The scenery was incredible, with braided rivers, snow-covered peaks, and almost no one else around.

It was a great few days to disconnect and enjoy the outdoors. We also filmed the trip while we were out there, so we put together a video afterwards to remember it. You can check out the video if interested at @SkitzOutdoors! Would mean a lot, a new thing me and my mate are trying for fun.

Just got back from a 3-day backpacking trip through the Wilberforce Valley in Canterbury, South Island, New Zealand, and thought I’d share a few of my favourite photos.

We carried everything we needed, camped beside the river each night, and spent the trip making our way further up the valley. The scenery was unreal—braided rivers, huge mountain ranges, and hardly another person around.

The weather was on our side, but there were still plenty of river crossings and long days with full packs. It ended up being one of my favourite backpacking trips so far.

If anyone has questions about the route, river crossings, camping, gear we carried, or backpacking in New Zealand, I’d be happy to answer them.
