SEEING THE COUNTRYSIDE.
YOUTHS TRAMP 500 MILES
Two Christchurch Training College students, Messrs R. C. McCarthy and W. W. Brassington, set out five weeks ago to discover whether there was any truth in tho statement "that going afoot is the only proper way to see a countryside.” They started out from Parnassus in tho middle of December, and went up the East Coast, branching off to go through Blenheim and Nelson. They then went down tho other side of the South Island, passing through tho principal towns in Westland. They finished up at tho Franz Josef Glacier, and were preparing to walk through the Copeland Pass to Timaru, but were persuaded not to do the trip unguided. They arrived back iri Christchurch after a tour of over 500 miles, firmly convinced that there was much scenic beauty accessible only to those who were prepared to walk to see it.
