Trying to get back into my “normal” routines
Rejoining the “rat race” So I was AWOL last week, and for good reason I say. The place we were staying has little stable mobile reception; that and I needed a proper break away from the hustle and bustle of constant phone calls, emails, blogs etc etc etc. In all honesty it was a […]
I’m supposed to be “taking a break” but I thought I’d check in.
A bit of a quick check in with a Vlog I’m taking a bit of a “break” and taking some time out, however I thought I’d do a quick Vlog and let you know where things are at! I’m being kept to a pretty strict “one hour every two days” work time […]
We were hoping for a quiet couple of days away
Kumeti, 1 Feb 2018 After having a pretty icky January I was hanging out to get away and have a quiet couple of days away in the bush. I’d found a reasonably close (1 hr drive) DOC (Dept of Conservation) campground. It was a nice campsite, but alas the trip didn’t quiet […]
Assumptions about New Zealand Rivers.
Putting on my Outdoor Instruction Hat… One of my long term goals is to “section” walk Te Araroa, New Zealand’s “thru-hike” that runs the length of New Zealand, from Cape Reinga to Bluff.

Hello 2018!
Happy New Year! First blog of the year, it’s going to be a bit of a wrap up of 2017 and some thoughts looking towards 2018. I’ll try and keep it brief but there’s a lot I did during 2017!

Needed some time out but also didn’t want to push myself “too” much, so I headed for Alice Nash Memorial […]
I did a vlog this week
Vlog instead of Blog This week I got adventurous and did a vlog instead of a blog. I forget how much work they are! I barely got my “weekly” post up! Full transcription below video! It can also be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTM9T7BBNrI
I’ve kept pretty quiet this week
I took a bit of time out this week. I’ve had a reasonably quiet week this week, apart from a trip to Wellington for the 2nd “Networking” Working Group meeting on Wednesday for the system transformation. For me the travel went relatively smoothly with AirNZ, apart from being entered into the system as a visually […]
It’s been a bit of an interesting week!
Hold on for the ride because this is a long one! I spent Monday and most of Tuesday doing housework and prepping to head to Wellington on Tuesday afternoon for the first of the “Networking” meeting for the System Transformation on Wednesday.
