8 weeks to go until New Zealand
October 19, 2009 at 9:55 am | Posted in Uncategorized | 4 CommentsSo, the final payment was made on Friday and now all I have to do is to get training, get fit for those mountains in New Zealand. My friend Jane and I are doing an 8 day trek (or in NZ speak, tramp) in Mount Aspiring National Park known as the Gillespie-Rabbit Pass – we jet boat up Lake Wanaka to the start of the trek and then spend 8 days walking back out – and of course we had to choose the walk rated ‘challenging’.

A beautiful picture, really no need to explain why we chose the South Island.

Looks beautiful too. No wonder it’s rated challenging I guess it’s quite steep in parts. I’m sure you’ll have an amazing time- look forward to seeing some photos.
