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!

Check out the photos from the Australian Nationals. These awesome photos really captured his form well. Very proud of this lad.
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!
Some pics from our basic training night at the Snow Xchange. Jack and Dad went there tonight to play on the tramps, ramps and foam pits.
Here’s a vid that Billy Norton made of Jack being a stuntman!
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!
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!

Gavin the legend resting up…
Possibly the worlds nicest tent spot
This gives a feel to the sort of altitude we were at. Pretty high up!
We found this plaque at Arthurs Pass. Have a read as it’s fantastic!
Here’s the lads taking on a decent feed after all the effort. Loved it…
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!
