Mauri ora, Peak #12, Entailed a walk to Brewster Hut, This was not a long walk… But a walk that went straight up! This peak is near Haast Pass, In the green and bushy Westland, Adventuring with my comrade Nina; I knew it would be grand! Leading us on this journey was Rob who works for […]

Mauri ora, Peak # 13 was an awesome peak for many reasons; Not least because of my awesome adventure team, It was also my first peak on a Monday, The perfect way to spend Labour Day it would seem! By my side (or sometimes a wee bit ahead) was Rids a long term adventure pal, […]

Mauri ora, Peak #14 was Mt Dobson. It is fair to say that prior to commencing this mission I neglected to fully acknowledge the ‘Mt’ preceding ‘Dobson’. I acknowledged it somewhat by consuming a large Custard Square at the Fairlie Bakehouse (no pie consumed) followed by a Kumara tart followed by a coffee however I was […]

Mauri ora, 16 is the number of this Peak, It was Mt Bradley on Banks Peninsula, of which the summit I did seek.

Mauri ora, I will name Peak #19 Treasure Peak 360. The road up Okuiti Valley from Little River isn’t actually on my topomap puzzle. Yes, despite having 3 topo maps I decided to ride in the area of which I did not have a map for and thus I do not know what the peak […]

Yikes, so much has happened over the last few weeks/month so this could be lengthy.  Firstly I got to do my first run with my sister which was a very cool event and was stoked to share this memory with her.  The run was the 10km crater rim, essentially up and back down Rapaki.  I […]
