Ok so I may have had my arm twisted and had a slight change of plans on the holidays front.... At the moment I'm heading up to Ruapehu from August 18-20 for some skiing then heading down south to do some climbing in the Kaikouras if the weather's good or else do some rambling if the weather's uncooperative in Richmond Forest Park from probably the 22nd til 25th. And then I'm coming home to do some serious uni work!!

If anyone's keen to join in with any of us on either of those plans, let me know, otherwise if you're thinking of Golden Bay that woulld be heaps of fun too (even if Jess does smell! BAD!!)
