Thread: South Island

Hi there fellas,

Not asking for any spot x type deals but doing the annual south island roadtrip with the missus and will be taking the trusty 308 with me and the handheld thermal for the first time.
Will be down the south island from the 20th Nov through to the 5th Dec.

Any recommendations for a chance at tipping an animal over? Missus isn't overally fit, walking would be limited to 10kms round trip in a day (it is a holiday after all however she is happy to sit and read a book with a view for a day) Vehicle is a reasonably capable dmax with a rear locker, 33s, snorkel etc and all the gear one needs to self recover.
Ive been eyeing up mavora lakes using Careys hut to park up at as it looks relatively easy to drive and walk from there.

Any suggestions welcome, a lot will naturally be weather dependant
