tipsy trails #41 Christchurch

If you’re new here, welcome - stoked you found us! We’re tipsy trails. We’re on a mission to get more people in their 20s outdoors and turn an online community into a seriously epic in-person one. We walk together along some of New Zealand’s most stunning trails, chatting with new and old mates - usually wrapping things up with a well-earned beverage afterwards. We’re a club built on the idea that getting outdoors doesn’t have to be super serious or intense - it should be accessible, with a bit of fun. You don’t need fancy gear. You don’t need to be “outdoorsy.” You don’t even need a group to come with - rocking up solo is totally normal here. All paces and abilities are welcome. You just need to show up and enjoy the rest. So, what do you say? Put down your phone and come outside with us. ⛰️ TRAIL INFO Trail: Mount Vernon Farm and Valley Track, Christchurch Length: Loop, approx. 7.1km, 439m elevation gain, around 3 - 3.5 hours Difficulty: Rated Moderate by AllTrails (some reviews suggest it feels harder than expected) 🎒 WHAT TO BRING? • Water bottle (make sure it’s full - there are no water fountains or taps), • trail snacks (interpret this however your heart desires), • comfy walking shoes, • a warm layer for during/afterwards, • hat, sunglasses, sunscreen (fingers crossed for sunshine☀️), • a raincoat (just in case), • and a bag to throw everything in!
