  1. Kia ora! I’m Matt - husband, dad to two (mostly) grown-up humans, and based in a small island nation tucked away in the South Pacific.

    I’m in the Fediverse because I believe in an open Internet that connects and grows communities of people, free from the commercial imperatives and perverse incentives of BigTech.

    I’ve been a techno-geek for as long as I can remember, and blog about my journeys with tech at mattjhayes.com. I also gravitate to maker projects that give me an excuse to buy more

    I mostly post about tech stuff, but content may also include photos of my dog being a doof, or some nice scenery that has caught my eye.

    Other interests include hiking 🥾 (in my country we call this ), travel, skiing, photography and mountain biking.

  3. Here are some more views mostly from the Cascade Saddle walk, including Mount Māori (thanks for the id!), a tarn with tufts, and a silty stream. #SouthernAlps #tramping

  4. I spent my copious free time in March writing a trip report for our Cascade Saddle tramp in February. It sure is scenic. #NZ #tramping #SouthernAlps

  5. Back to Aotearoa and the Cascade Saddle trip last month. I hope I can write a trip report one of these days.

    The itinerary that we'd had in mind for a while was from Raspberry Creek carpark through to Aspiring Hut, over Cascade Saddle, through to Dart Hut, and then to Shelter Rock and out at Muddy Creek.

    We finally managed to do it in February, with lots of itinerary changes to not be on the saddle on a rainy day.

    Here are pictures from Queenstown through to Aspiring Hut, so not yet the saddle.

  6. Here's a couple of the "nice scenery" pics, not so dramatic, on Angelus. You can't see the wind. #tramping

  7. Moving along the West Coast, here are some pictures from the Old Ghost Road, another multi-day tramp / mountain bike ride, with well-equipped huts along the way. #tramping #hiking #HutLife

  8. Driving away from Wānaka, one can go towards Raspberry Creek and then Aspiring Hut in the Matukituki Valley. There are also a bunch of crags this way (not pictured). #tramping #hiking

  9. Here's some other pictures from a more recent tramp to near the summit of Mitre Peak (Tararuas) with the Wellington Tramping & Mountaineering Club. #tramping

    Kiel hat Trampstellen auf dem Uni-Campus und an der Autobahnauffahrt Richtung A7.

    Ob oder wie häufig die genutzt werden kann ich aber nicht sagen.

  13. And a bunch of tramping pictures from January 2023's Around the Mountain Circuit. Which appears to currently not be circumnavigable, alas. Good that we got to do it while it was open; geology seems to strike pretty often. #Tramping #NZ

  14. Didn't process many pictures in February (but I did take several thousand pictures in Japan, eeps). Here is the photos post from that month.

  15. Sun, rain, beauty, and creepy talkative trees on the Great Ocean Walk at the end of its first year. Featuring a loo with a view on Christmas Day at the aptly named Devils Kitchen campsite.

  16. Yesterday I hiked up from Orton Bradley Park to the Sign of the Packhorse hut and stayed the night, then walked out to Gebbies Pass. Bizarrely, despite the hut being fully booked, I was the only person who showed up, so I had it to myself!

  20. #NZ Part 2 was more mellow #tramping in the caples and greenstone valleys, with a little jaunt up into the #subalpine to get between them. #Christmas dinner of nice cheese at McKellar hut was a great way to spend the holiday! U shaped valleys, lots of birds, and ending every day with a swim were all highlights. #Aotearoa #southIsland
