Pissing On The Matai Tree

Although the weather was completely miserable for the most part, we had a pretty fun weekend out west, staying in the Global Village hostel in Greymouth. The drive across the south island wasn’t very long, and when the rain occassionally lifted up we got to see some amazing scenery as we headed through Arthur’s pass. On Saturday we headed the 80km up north to find Pancake Rocks, an area of limestone and mudstone that had been layered up by the effects of erosion. Looked like there might have been some nice climbing there. From there we headed out to see New Zealand’s longest swing bridge which proved to be a rather uninteresting detour out of our way, except for the large matai tree that Patrick promptly pissed upon during the jungle walk.
