Jack – 2017 Australian Nationals

Jack did a great job over there, 5th place overall and 2nd in the finals. We’re very happy with his performance given the new age bracket he’s in. Here’s a few photos!

Hikinng at Turoa

   I love it when you get the chance for a great country family shot! These were from the quick work trip we just did to Ohakune this week. We managed to see the snow, had a hike and ended up at DeBretts hot pools in Taupo. Gad a great trip!

Jack–The Upper South Island Champ!

Jack had a great day at the Upper South Island Champs! He won the Double Mini and the main Tramp contest. We’re so proud of him – it’s fantastic to see our boy succeed! Next mission the New Zealand Champs in Auckland in about 5-6 weeks!

Devils Punchbowl Hike

We had Vishal and Gopika down for a holiday, so took them for a nice walk to the Devils Punchbowl in Arthurs Pass. Decent walk, good fun, great company!

Hiking backcountry with the lads! Cheeseman & Olympus!

Here’s some pics from a hike I did with Gavin and Si Sharp. We did 3x 2000m+ peaks in a few days and a few nights camping in an alpine tent by a tarn. I have to say this pushed me quite a bit. I now have a new appreciated of what ‘mountain fit’ means!!

Great company and a good time in perfect weather. We climbed Mt Cheeseman, Mt Olympus and Mt Cockayne. Nice meal at Arthurs Pass to finish it all off on a high note!

An Adventure Day!

We took the family out today for a wee adventure. First stop was the Orton Bradley Park where we went for a nice tramp. The kids did well…

Then we went to Diamond Harbour Wharf for a spot of fishing and Jack had a swim, well actually a jump off the wharf from a swinging gantry rope. Great fun! See the vids below!
