Oh little town of Methven.....

We moved to the little town of Methven two weeks ago, the day befor my course started on the Monday. We’re staying at the Redwood Lodge, which in winter is a six bedroom ski lodge, but we’ve rented the whole place for the summer and we’re sharing it with two guys from the course who moved in a week ago. The place used to be a vicarage, so it’s one of the oldes buildings in town and it has a really nice peacefull airy feel to the place.


Road builders round here stuck strictly to the Roman road building ethos.....straight!


These are the local hills just out of town, on the edge of the alps. We took a trip up the Rakaia valley at the end of the day and caught the sun shining through from behind the clouds.


Our camp fire at the edge of lake Colleridge, further up the same valley, where we stayed that night.
