Wānaka Wandering with Marty Robb

This week, first-time contributor Marty Robb brings us a stunning collection from Wānaka, New Zealand.

Wānaka is the outdoor playground of the South Island, and everywhere you go you’ll be greeted with breathtaking views of the Tititea/Mount Aspiring and Lake Wānaka. This region is a bucket list destination for anyone who loves the outdoors as either a skier, kayaker or cyclist.

Captured on an autumn day, our pick this week is the Outlet Track. You’ll be greeted with views of Tititea off in the distance, gravel tracks, quiet roads and lakeside views with an undulating profile.

You can find these rides under NEW in FulGaz or by searching Robb.
