I have heard so much about Cinque Terre, but I have never made it there myself. While I love the pictures and the idea, I wonder if my body is up to it. This snippet from Ruth who did a trip with other women on a Bushwise Women Tour, made me think, maybe I can! Next time! Read more

Joining a women’s tour to do this trip was a great idea – It is a regular on the Bushwise Women Calendar. I get to enjoy a trip like this on my own, but not on my own. We began to get to know each other – Yvonne – the tour leader and owner of Bushwise Women, who lives in Northern NSW, her friend Fiona from Adelaide, Sam from the Blue Moutains west of Sydney, Gwen from Christchurch NZ and me from Waipu, NZ.

This World renowned, 4 day tramp, which begins above the historic town of Akaroa, crosses private farmland and Hinewai Reserve. The track covers 35 kilometres often skirting the rugged volcanic coastline which plunges dramatically to a foaming sea and fringes a marine mammal sanctuary. The South East Bays of Banks Peninsula were not previously accessible to the public and the farmers have welcomed trampers by creating attractive accommodation.
Enjoy the wide open spaces, the waterfalls, rocky cliffs, beech forests, seals and penguins, going at our own pace.
This trip is suitable for those new to tramping. You will be walking up hill and down dale from 3 to 5 hours each day.
Depart: Sunday, 1st March 2009 Meet at 5.45pm at the P.O./Info Centre in Akaroa for pick up and orientation. Finish date: 5th March 2009
Cost: $ 465

Today I paid my deposit today for two of my tours – it feels so exciting – in less than three months the adventure will have started, and in some ways it feels like it has started already as I plan and book, peruse Google Maps, contact friends and start to put the picture together.
I am not a confident traveller, especially on my own, and it has been great to find two women’s tours which fit my itinerary – as a women on my own this makes things so much easier.
