How did I end up here??
Once again I was busy last week! Last week was jam packed full! One of the busiest weeks I have had in awhile. On Monday the 12th March we ended up needing to take ADNZ Ben to the vet, he’d been limping a little at the end of the week before and through the […]
Never a dull moment.
Been another interesting week On Friday the 3rd of March I went and checked out the Show Your Ability expo. It was really good to see the advances in technology and equipment available and if I had the money I’d invest in one of the handcrank mountain bikes. I did a bit of filming and […]

Equipment to Thrive Yesterday I went down to the Show Your Ability Expo held in the Central Energy Trust Arena, Palmerston North. One of the biggest disability expos in New Zealand definitely had equipment there for people to thrive rather than just survive!

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. Te Araroa take walker through some of New Zealand’s most spectacular landscapes and I will probably be not be attempting this in […]
An interesting end to last week
An interesting end to the week last week… I’ve been keeping a pretty low profile this week as I’m still getting my health sorted out. I did however have an appointment on Friday to meet with our electorate MP, Iain Lees-Galloway to have a bit of a chat about tertiary level education for students with […]
