Heavy rains, flooding and road closures cancelled my much anticipated helihike to the Franz Glacier (West Coast, NZ).
In leui of helihiking, I packed up and travelled northeast along the coast to Kaikoura Airport to meet up with a flight instructor, Matt Eastman.
Turned out to be a beautiful day for a flying lesson along the northeast coast of NZ.
Thanks, Matt! A great alternative to my helihike.
