Onwards and upward - On the final stretch of stinkin Nzealand! Due to our sluggery we only have a few days left and cant make it up into the Northlands as planned, a bit of a pisser because we cant meet up with Steve and Johno, pah. Anyway, from the top. The highlight of Wellington was bumping into an equally supprised Dom (Martins Film Crazy Congleton veggie Cider Drinking Chum) in the Street and going out for a few beers (ciders, Dom). Swapped some tr...

Time for a little update. Franz Josef was a really quiet place, a small town based on tourism in Glacier country. So there wasn't an awful lot to do there apart from walk up to the base of the glacier and back again (unless you've got money to go on a guided tour).

And tried a...

The following day arrived and we got out of bed at about 9-9.30 and seeked some advice about booking the jump for the same day. The...

Ok I think we left you as we were preparing to embark on a mission of a walk up to a hut in the middle of nowhere. The lady who sold the idea had obviously not realized how f***in hard core we are because the walk up, although a solid 2 hours wasn't that bad, there were no rivers to cross, no one was dying on route which may have caused us the dilemma of saving them or summating and there were no cliffs to climb...Even the mountain 'hut' was cozy, running water ...
