It is often when you are tramping you say that you have bagged something, for example huts, campsites & peaks. Then you can go round other trampers or friends and say you have done that.

I have done a couple of maps that shows what I have bagged:

• Huts & Campsites
• Peaks

There is currently a new TV series which is currently being screened on TV ONE (Tuesdays 8.30pm) which is called "Wild about New Zealand".

Its a six-part series takes in all the beauty and idiosyncrasies of six of New Zealand's stunning and unique National Parks. The series showcases this country's dramatic topography, unique species, spectacular stories and the cast of thousands that fight every day to maintain and preserve the rich history and future of our national parks.

This timelapse video shows the wonderful landscapes that we have in New Zealand.  Particularly this is showing the beauty of Tongariro National Park, which is one of my favourite places in the country.
