The Magical Mackenzie

Just got to share some pics from a wonderful long weekend in the Mountains. The boys 'tramped' their first snowy Mt Cook National Park epic. I was 22 years old when I first saw that view!

And how did the lads celebrate this momentous feat? They fell asleep! But they really did enjoy their time in the High Country. Many more times like this to come.

As the pics will show, it was mid winter perfection.

Its hard work this tramping lark

Another Wedding in Paradise

I have finally recovered from a magic 4 days away down at Lake Hawea for a wedding. First wedding of 2008- after 7 of the things last year its almost been a drought.


Couple of pics attached from the trip (Lake Hawea and Mt Iron above Wanaka, where I ramped up the Routeburn Classic training a little bit)- I seriously recommend a holiday there for anyone, although you'd need to win lotto twice over to afford a decent house there now.


Big thanks to everyone who made it happen- scarily that was my first proper holiday since Rarotonga, unless you count a few days off at Xmas.
