East Coast to West Coast: Walking Across an Island in 25 Days

In 2023 two friends and I received a youth expedition scholarship from the Federated Mountain Clubs of New Zealand.

We set out to traverse the South Island from the East Coast to the West Coast (Kaikoura to Little Wanganui). To daciliate the trip we prepped food drops, printed maps to chart each days’ track, and secured sponsors (thanks Bivouac Outdoors, Backcountry Cuisine, Radix Nutrition, Fix & Fogg).

To share the experience, we wrote articles for outdoor magazines and produced this short film. You can have a look at it here.
