Took the Freelander for a jaunt to the Tekapo/Twizel "Mackenzie High Country" for a couple of days fishing & golf with my boy before he heads off to UK/Europe for a couple months. The old girl performed fantastic (as she always does!) through some foul weather to get us there...

Some of the courses were not playable...

Others were simply stunning :) This is the "Cairns Golf Course Tekapo" - 18 holes with a buggy for £20 - not to shabby :) Went round in 117 - pretty good for me !

Fishing was a bit 'iffy' - the Ohau canal was a blank, but the trusty Tekapo canal returned us 4 Salmon :) Mount Cook center frame from the Tekapo canal...

You have to be a bit lucky to see Mt Cook cloud free. We got very lucky, that snow got dumped the day before and we timed it just right. I think you had one of those days where the Alps shows you how much rain can hammer down in a day!
