I did a small section of the Rimutaka Rail Trail with Steph, Colin and family yesterday - it was a gorgeous sunny day and it was lovely to get out and about. We started at the end, and walked a short distance up, then down again. It's really popular as a mountain bike ride and we saw quite a few people coming down on bikes.

vista!
We didn't end up walking that far along the Rimutaka Rail Trail but here's the view from the highest bit we got to.
cows!
At the entrance (or more accurately the end) of the Rimutaka Rail Trail was a herd of highland cows - a bit incongruous with all the fresians we normally see but very striking nonetheless!
Cross Creek Railway Station
Part way up the track is the old Cross Creek railway station - a good place to get out of the sun and eat egg sandwiches.

flying!
I had a long weekend staying with my brother in Anakiwa (near Picton) last weekend - he and his family live on the Outward Bound School campus there. Didn't take any photos during the visit sadly, even though we had a great day out sailing which would have provided some brilliant images.
I flew from Wellington to Picton return on Sounds Air which is a small company with tiny planes! It was great fun - here's a photo of the ferry docking at Picton. Some other photos of the flight are on Flickr.
