New Zealand - Greenstone/Caples Tramp

Initial tramp in New Zealand to help improve our fitness. A 5-day tramp up the Caples Valley and down the Greenstone Valley between West Coast and Central Otago. Base town was Queenstown with access via Glenorchy.

We had clear and calm conditions to entire time. This is a great introduction to New Zealand tramping.
