Peak Hill
I have lived in Mid Canterbury for 14 years now, and in all that time I have never made the trip to Peak Hill.
All that changed for me in September 2022, I originally had this trip planned for the first weekend in September but unfortunately the weather was unkind and the wind too strong for a pleasant outing.

Rabbit Hill & Trig M
I've lived in Mid Canterbury now for 14 years, in that time I have been a member of the Methven and Districts Tramping Club for all but one year. Rabbit Hill and Trig M has appeared on the trip scheduled at least once every year, and so far either I have not been available to do the trip or it has been cancelled due to weather or lack of numbers.
