    Leaving Camp

    8 января 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    This morning we completed the pack up of the stage into the truck (the word lorry isn't used here apparently). We then headed for a team brunch in Cambridge. The portaloo was tied up to be transported to its next home and I discovered I don't have Covid (for now) which is a relief as about 50% of the team do!Читать далее

    Flying Hamilton to Wellington

    8 января 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Wow that might just be the prettiest flight I've ever done! Cruising at 17,000ft with clear skies the scenery of New Zealand's North Island was simply incredible! Hamilton Airport also very nice and quiet. Top service all around!Читать далее

    Once leaving the cable car you arrive immediately at the Wellington Botanical Gardens. I took a circular walk around here before heading back down into the city via the cable car.

    My final stop was at the Museum of New Zealand! With 6 floors of exhibits around nature, war, art, culture and much more! One of the most ancient artefacts was the English version of the treaty between the Maori's and the British ratified in 1840 which was defaced by protestors last month on 11 December and hasn't been cleaned! There was also an outdoor terrace for more views over the harbour.Читать далее

    A beautiful evening ferry ride from the north island to south island. I managed to bag a seat right near the front of the boat so the views were great without even having to move.

    Day 1 of the track was absolutely stunning! I covered just under 17km in 3 and a quarter hours with 520m of elevation gain. The paths today were very twisty and turny starting with a steady ascent then steady descent. Views were amazing!!!Читать далее

    Queen Charlotte Track Day 2

    11 января 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ 🌬 23 °C

    This morning I woke up in no hurry at all as the second day of the QCT is the easiest of them all! With very little ascent and only 12km of distance the walking took me around 2.5 hours. I was slowed down by walking half of the day with a Scottish couple who I'd briefly spoken to last night but the company was nice!Читать далее

    Day 3 was off to a good start with a tasty breakfast ahead of what is the longest, hilliest and therefore most difficult day of the track. The views however were incredible as the track runs along the top of the hills. Had to separate today into 3 parts and just so many photos to share!Читать далее

    QCT Day 3 Evening

    12 января 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    This evening I checked into my 5 person shared accomodation to discover I was the only person staying there! I spoke to the owner and she said this was highly unusual and the 3 previous nights had been completely full!

    I then called the resort next door to book a table for dinner, only to be informed that there were none available. I therefore asked if there was anywhere else nearby to eat and was recommended Punga Cove, the place I'd eaten the night before and just walked 25km from. The only realistic option was to eat pasta, pasta sauce and beans found in the cupboard of my accomodation.

    Before succumbing to this fate I thought I'd head down to the resort anyway to enjoy the views out to the sounds and maybe try and walk in to the restaurant. However, there was still no space for me in the restaurant but I was able sit in the huge bar area and order bar snacks. Thankfully the bar snacks included fries and also a fish bowl. So I ordered one of each and when they arrived it could have easily fed two people! So all worked out well in the end!

    Evening in Picton

    13 января 2024 г., Новая Зеландия ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    After arriving in Picton, checking in, washing and hanging out all of my clothes it was time to hit the town!

    The place I went for dinner had a group playing, and the very first song they played was 'Ferry Across the Mersey'. I couldn't believe it!

    After a few drinks there I headed next door to an Irish bar which also had a group on. Ended up getting into bed just before midnight.
