I'm always keen to get into the Backcountry, but then reality gets in the way to fit in that epic multi-day trip! We are lucky in Nelson to have a lot of options to get your back country fix without going far.
Last Sunday morning was a rainy one for us my son and his mate were keen for a ride, and the Hacket Track is a good one when it is wet, and it has some great side trip options and a Hut to have lunch at ... mint. Check the video below to see how are #microadeventure went Cheers
New for me on this trip was my ACR ResQlink Personal locator beacon from SAR Dynamics. I couldn't be more happier about this, to have the support from SAR Dynamics is fantastic. Having a PLB is essential in NZ because of its mountainous terrain, tech trails, inaccessibility and Limited cell phone reception. I will be carrying this super small PLB from short local Mountain bike trips, bike skill coaching through to backcountry missions.
Whispering Falls lunch stop with lads
Hacket Hut
Cheers for the trip Zack
