Slackline - Highline around Christchurch

It has been a very busy time for me in New Zealand!! that's the main reason why my entries on this blog are so far apart...

Beer Brewing, Highlining, Climbing, a bit of Tramping and Kayaking, all around Canterbury Region.

You can see my more updated pictures at my Instagram Profile.
As well if any want to join the Adventures, feel free to be part of Christchurch Slackline facebook page and be welcomed to walk any of the lines around the City (#ChristchurchSlackline).

Some pictures of the Adventures we are having around!!!

I'll be posting more regularly....I always said that, hopefully my should injury allow me back to adventures and posts are not that frequent, but I want to commit myself to a Monthly Post...

We'll see what happens!!! Have a great life!!

Winter Week in Canterbury - 2017

Hi all,

Back now with English version of the blog.

This last week was quite wet, but I was able to have 2 spectacular days!!! One day visiting Mount Hutt a ski field one and a half hours from Christchurch and one nice highline day just here in the city.

Mt Hutt


Perfect day, perfect sun, but heaps of people at the lift because of School holidays... apart from that, all red pistes were free, with noone riding them, so I enjoyed a lot.

Just check some pictures below.

 Top of the Ski field, super clear ski
 From the Chairlift you can see all parking spots were taken!!!
 Me making faces...
If you go forward, you are out of the ski field!!


A very nice day spent on the mountains, took me back to Christchurch by 7PM, ready for a good dinner and sleep.

Sunday Highline


Sunday cleared out after 4 non stop days of rain, with many flooded areas in Canterbury.
The plan was to do a bit of highline in one of our city spots, easy rig, tight line, lots of fun!!!

 Afternoon Highline is the name, 38m long, 15m high, is more a midline than a proper highline...
 Not really exposure on this line make it perfect for begginers and for some fun when rigging needs to be fast.

Another week, another adventure, next week, the Christchurch Slackline group will go to Hanmer Springs to rig a 115m line next to the bridge at the entrance of the Town.

Cheeersssssss.......
