Wanaka Skyline Circumnav
An exciting first attempt to circumnavigate Lake Wanaka via the most prominent peaks. A journey of over 200km, over 15,000m of climbing. An unknown. A possibility.
What is possible? That is always the question that Tanya wants to answer when she sets out to take on a challenge that no one else has attempted – sure people have talked about it, dreamed about it…but actually taking the action to make the dream a reality…
It has been anumber of years in the planning, and kicks of Feb 2024.
That is something different, that is where Tanya’s purpose lies in creating her own reality and showing what is possible.
The circumnavigation is a celebration of independence and community, healing and growth, and the amazing things that happen when you step outside your comfort zone.
