Thread: Northland hunter heading to Canterbury

I'm heading to Christchurch for work in July and thought it a good reason to take a few days off and go for an armed tramp and a look up a Canterbury river and see what I can find.

I've looked on the DoC website and narrowed down my options. Ive called the DoC office and got no help from them. All they go by is the number of permits issue in an area.

Would a kind local be able to point out a reasonably safe area to do a little armed tramp for someone that hasnt seen the Canterbury high country before?

Thanks in advance and if someone they are coming up to Northland I'm happy to help with a days fishing in return.
