The RELUCTANT adventurer

An eighteen-year-old princess, who paints his (yes, his) nails and dyes his hair bleach blonde, embarking on an adventure trip with his family, sounds like a plot for a bad 80s movie.

North West Circuit Stewart Island

I found myself in limbo during the winter of 2020, in between jobs in a strained covid economy. And so, I did what any outdoors person would do with a large amount of free time on their hands. It was time to pack up my belongings and hit the road. It was time to leave behind home comforts and go adventure-seeking.

Emilie's adventure to Angelus Hut

“I want to be the leader!” Miss Six announced, pushing past me in her determination to be in front. Momentarily off-balance with my heavy pack, I narrowly avoided twisting an ankle on the sharp rocks and silently swore while cracking a bright smile.

Adversity at Altitude

The wind and snow is whipping at my face. I’ve readjusted the stiff frozen fleece buff around my neck and mouth, desperately trying to protect myself from the -20 degree bitter wind. Adrenaline is still pumping through my body but I know I’ll start to get cold soon.

3 Passes Route: Southern Alps

In the heart of the Southern Alps of New Zealand lies one of the absolute transalpine classic trekking routes; the 3 Passes. It is revered by many as one of the great backcountry hikes the country has on offer. Its remoteness and reliance on perfect conditions means many a trip is sent back due to high water and wild weather. This January we set out to experience one of the classics.

New Years Resolution These Legs Are Made For Walking

What can you possibly say about 2020 which does not involve a lot of expletives? It was certainly a year to remember. It is a known fact that the mere prospect of change does not sit well with many people and causes stress and anxiety, but 2020 saw us all change in many ways. We had to quickly adapt to a ‘new normal’, changing the way that we worked, socialised, travelled and engaged with people on a daily basis.

ROTORUA feel the spirit

Like any adventurer knows, if you are feeling lost, or need to get your bearings, you climb to the top of the highest tree or hill to gain some perspective. We were not lost, but we didn’t know what treasures were hidden in our surrounds and from the vantage point of our small float plane we were able to see for miles, literally. In one direction we could see Mt Edgecombe and glimpse White Island on the horizon and around us lakes littered the landscape. Holding guard over this incredible landscape, Mt Tarawera stood like a proud sentinel, the gashes and gorges in its side witness to its violent history.

OLIVINE ICE PLATEAU

We were somewhere in the dense bush of New Zealand’s wild West Coast; battling the unrelenting undergrowth, sweaty, bleeding and tired… but stoked. Despite knowing where we were geographically, we felt lost in the wilderness. The countless dead ends encountered as we searched for a route amongst the bluffed-out ridges, landslips or cliffs.

Steph and I were 1500m from the Glade Wharf, the head of Lake Te Anau, and she was imploring me to leave her behind. We'd run some 60 km in the last nine hours, including 1800m of elevation, and we were late for the last boat leaving the wharf for civilisation.

I’m not a fan of helicopters. I have a real sense of vulnerability being miles up in the air surrounded only by a metal casing large enough to house the few inhabitants. However, what causes my fear is also the thing that makes helicopter rides so incredibly exciting.

WEST COAST WILDERNESS TRAIL

Amongst all the off-road cycle trails in New Zealand none can offer the unique spectacle of the West Coast’s native forests, rivers, and lakes, bordered on one side by the Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea on the other. After spending five days on the Adventure South West Coast Cycling Tour, I am hooked on the hassle-free cycle touring that a guide can offer. There is so much to see and do in this beautiful part of New Zealand, and the expertise and experience of Adventure South made it easy to do plenty in five days.

Whatipu Caves & Pararaha Valley

The West Coast at Whatipu is such a unique place – the constant roar of Southern Ocean swells crashing onto a black-sand coast, brooded over by crumbling cliff faces. No maiden-hair ferns or daphne bushes here, this is a place of hardier nikau, harekeke flax and cabbage trees and as we would find out, almost impenetrable stands of kanuka, gorse and blackberry. We would also discover this place was being enjoyed by some very unwelcome exotic mammals.

AN UNLUCKY BEGINNING TO A 350,000KM LONG JOURNEY!

After meeting each other only two months earlier, through a mix of reckless lust and spontaneous adventure, we came up with an idea. Together, we would drive the planet. Inspired by Gunther Holtorff’s 24-year world tour, we put pen to paper and drew up a 350,000km-long route through all 7 continents and 90 countries. This would become our life for the next 3 consecutive years.
