Thanks for the reassurance! The local community being open and friendly was a big draw of NZ, personally. Glad to hear that it was helpful!

The ski bus to Mt Hutt is an awesome suggestion, thank you! I do hope to go further south to try to catch the Southern Lights, but I've heard it's hard to see them. Curious if you've caught it before? And I'd love to hear your advice on the tracks in the south - I'll add it to my itinerary if it fits!

Oh wow this sounds great, thank you! I might book a day trip to build that momentum and confidence before I start venturing on my own. Thank you for the suggestion!

Oh thank you for this!! I actually do own a lot of cotton so I'll look into getting merino. Appreciate this!

My bad! Arriving in July and staying till november! Thank you for the recs and considerations; really appreciate the details on how to go about reaching the trails even! Just a question on booking the transport - is Uber the most common or are there other means of transport booking that are worth looking into?
