The Banks Peninsula Track is a 35 kilometre tramping track on the Banks Peninsula on the South Island of New Zealand in the Canterbury region.

Both the two day and four day track options start and end in Akaroa and reach a maximum altitude of 699 metres at Trig GG, traversing a rugged coastline, forests, bush, pastures, and the Hinewai Reserve.

On the 27th April, 2011 less than 48 hours after landing in New Zealand we headed out on the Tramp.

Our Kiwi relatives told us it was "pretty easy going underfoot". It wasn't! It was one of the hardest things I've ever done...but also one of the most rewarding as you'll see from this footage.

We had an amazing time and I'd highly recommend the tramp to anyone looking to go walking in NZ. I just wish I'd filmed more of the huts we stayed in as they were awesome! Check out some of Steph's photos to see what I missed.
