Expeditions

Just because something is on a map doesn't mean it is actually there

Leaving the Kaimai for the Coromandel and new totally new territory.

A day when taking it easy and enjoying the scenery is the only thing to do

The Kaimai Ridgeway track almost gets a little bit crowded.

A short day is needed after the long wet slog of the day before.

A long and soggy day in the Kaimai Range.

After several days in limbo Fiona and Anthony make their way into the Kaimai

Sometimes a chance meeting can change everything.

A short day of tramping comes to an innovative end...

Will recent storm damage throw another spanner in our works?

After a good start, Fiona worries about what lies ahead as we leave Taupo...

Sometimes a listicle is all that's needed for an accurate portrayal of life.

With food running low and heavy rain forecast the pressure is on to get to Taupo.

The food and energy get low as Oamaru Hut and bad weather near.

We leave one superb hut for another...and another...

Fi and Anthony finally admit to themselves that they’ve become hut rats.

A perfect day for travel dawned so we took the high route.

A desperate situation requires a desperate solution.

'What? Another zero day? You gotta be kidding me!'

We near the end of the Ruahine Range and things get unpleasant.

'move along you two, there's nothing to see here...'

You never know what is around the corner...or down the hill.

Just because it's a short day doesn't mean it's going to be an easy day.
