Buckland Peak

overnight trip to Buckland Peak


Christmas was over, the weather was splendid and the forecast didn't look too bad either. We had spent enough time eating too much food and hanging out at the beach. Time to get back into the mountains. Christmas in the summer is weird, I've never really had real Xmas feelings, it was a pleasure though to walk around in shorts and t-shirts and going for swim in the ocean, while my relatives are freezing on the other side of the world.



The 1300m high Buckland Peak near Westport had always been recommended to me, I could just not do it earlier due to rainy and cloudy weather.

We took quite a few pictures for such a short trip.

Our helpx host drove us to the car-park and we had some boring 6km to the trail-head in front of us. There weren't too many cars parked and it looked like we would have the trail for us.
