Note that crampon and ice-axe skills will most likely be required for this ...

    Taranaki this weekend!!   Will be awesome - an absolutely beautifull mountain, fabulous views, and some ice on the top for those who are keen! :)  This is a basic mountaineering trip ie there is snow all the way, and it is steep and exposed in places.

  • Kieran and Glen viewing the Cosmos.... as you do!!

    Not really much to say here, what else do you do when you see stars as magnificent as these? OH By the way, even tho it was the start of February once the sun went down, it got clucking cold - we weren't stargazing for long!!
