A hike at Clay Cliffs, Quailburn

in #hive-19491319 days ago

Whenever I travel for work, I always look out for places of attraction by reading the road signs. Most of the time, I don't get to visit the place if it is not on the roadside, but I do check it out on the internet and put it on my to-do list.

The first time I saw Clay Cliffs sign was last winter, and it was about 8km from site. So I couldn't visit, besides we had to postpone the project due to the snow-filled mountain track.

We were back in Quailburn, Omarama, last month, and I had a day off while away, so the opportunity to visit Clay Cliffs presented itself.

It was a 16km drive from my motel so I went for a solo hike. Though I saw other vehicles parked when I arrived but it was so isolated it felt like I was alone there.

Very beautiful Clay Cliffs, I embarked on a hike. I was surprised at how much I kept going.

I felt the urge to go through this small space to the other side but decided I am alone and turned back to explore other Cliffs.

I made it to a section top of the Clay, as seen in my first photo.
It is amazing how New Zealand 🇳🇿 is helping me to discover how much I like nature and especially considering no wild animal is going to attack me 😃.

It wasn't long before I saw people that had come for a hike start to emerg from the Cliffs.

I intend to do it again and next time with my hiking partner.

Thank you, have a great week ahead and keep warm.

It is 3 days road trip in January, just before we resume work. I am soo longing for Milford Sound, I can't wait for the job to take me there.

It is going to be me and my hiking partner so we will do some stops along the way and sleep in two different towns. So looking forward to it. 😊

Milford Sound is the most beautiful place in the South Island and I just can't wait to go, we will do the ferry trip too. Hopefully I get to see dolphins 🐬.

Oh I saw Seals 🦭 for the first time last week Friday. Keep an eye 👁 out for photos 📸 😃😃🤣

Awesome thanks, will check it out.

That sounds wonderful Joe, I can imagine your excitement 😁
Looking forward seeing photos from the trip. I hope you will see dolphins 🐬

Wow seals 🦭 pretty cool 😎 will keep an eye out for it.

Thank you 😊 🙏
Let me know what you think of the shorts. I don't have the time to edit I just posted it raw except for the sound which I added from YouTube song selection.

You are welcome, just watched it… liked and subscribed.
I like it. The music makes it very “summery”.
The good weather helps also. That tree line is stunning…

I see what you mean, but shorts can be raw. If you upload longer videos they do need editing but for shorts this is perfect. Holding the camera still helps and you did well. It is very clear too.
So keep doing what you are doing 😎 make a lot of shorts for practising and than create longer ones…
Hope you get lots of followers. NZ has lots to offer for viewing 😊

Thank you for the tips 😊
Yes for now I will only focus on shots then maybe longer ones in the future

Yes I am hoping to pull more followers since my contents are NZ related.

Thank you for the like and subscription 🙏
