As a youngster living in Karori, a suburb on the western fringe of Wellington, I was surrounded by hills. If we wanted some excitement it often involved climbing about 300 metres of elevation (about 1,000 feet) from home to the tops of several surounding hills.
From there I graduated to small trips to the Orongorongo and southern Tararua ranges. Including one where I nearly lost myself in a blizzard at over 4,500 feet near Hector peak inland from Otaki.
And later, with a well grounded dad as leader, did some trips in the southern Tararua's with our children.
