WOW its been the most fantastic summer ever.


OoooOoo i have got a good tan :D

went away on ym 3 week holiday and climbed a few mountains, saw some snow (i hardly ever see snow, maybe 3 times in my life) on the top of a 6000 foot mountain which i climbed.

did some swimming in rivers and stuff, drank some water from streams (coz its super clean here)

wow not a drop of rain all three weeks, we had good luck.

did some biking also about 50Km a couple of days. so i'm super fit.



and this weekend i might die HA HA HA HA

my mate and i decided we would go hiking up the side of a river for the day, and jump in the top in some truck inner tubes (which we got for free from the tyre place the other day)

then go camping at the bottom :D

ha ha ha its gonna rock. if only i had a water proof camera :D


love being in NZ, don't need to worry about anything (such as animals, bugs, or people with guns) that will kill you.

might go sleep under the stars if the wether is good :D

Nice. Fun stuff.

You're going to hike up the side of a river? That's going to be a short hike!

Just out of curiosity, why, whenever you mention being outdoors, do you always mention not worrying about animals, bugs, or people with guns? It's not like we have ten million crazy people with guns running around in the woods, shooting everybody they see. And with animals, pretty much everything ya see around here is going to be more scared of you than you are of it. Gives ya more nice things to see and shoot photos of, anyway.

Most possibilities for danger around here just involve using your head. Don't leave food all over the place in bear country. See that copperhead? Don't step on it. Etc. As long as ya got half a brain in your head, and you use it, there's rarely anything to worry about.

You can injure yourself or die in a fall while hiking and mountain climbing in New Zealand, just like anywhere else. But if you use your head, you won't.

Ah, takes me back to my army days. Being chased through the woodlands of Wales for my Pathfinder selection. Pissed it down the whole time though.

Come on down to New Zealand! Our "tramps" have no bugs!

Or maybe:

Come on down to New Zealand! The bugs on our "tramps" don't bite!

(Anybody know the number to the NZ department of tourism? I'm gonna phone these slogan ideas in)

Hey Aubie, in a fight, who do you think would win? A elephant-carrying mosquito, or a croc?

Hmm, knowing some of the mosquitos I've seen, that's a tough one. Is it a steel cage match?

Well DUH!

Steel cage with spikes on top (pointing down, of course)...

And a bug zapper in every corner...

Well, if there's bug zappers in there, I'll have to go with the croc.

A tag team trio of the mosquito, Irwin, and his kid vs. the croc? That's totally unfair in the opposite direction. No contest. Tag team trio wins.

Irwin's man-child might beat the croc by himself.
