As above, experinced, well equipped and physically fit middle aged tramper here. Been in NZ 20 odd yrs. Comfortable camping on winter tops, etc. I know my way way around Central Otago well enough but I'm wholly ignorant of Canterbury.

Heading up to Chch next week for work but planning to skive off for a couple of days to go tramping with my fit as a butcher's dog, adult daughter, who's just moved up there (been tramping since she was a nipper and is now sherpa material).

She was thinking of Brass Monkey bivvy. Sounds good to me from what I've read, but grateful for any insights, warnings, etc. or additional suggestions

Cheers
