  • A fantastic day out for the Great Cranleigh Kauri run today (See the video below).

    The 30km run from Waikawau Bay to Coromandel township across the ranges was stunning. Well organised and as usual with trail runs we met some fantastic and friendly people taking part. more

  • The Firefly Children’s Home is a not for profit NGO (non govermental organisation) based in Kathmandu Nepal.
    My goal is to raise $5,000 for the Orphanage to assist in building a separate boys accomodation block in their sister orphanage in Sankhu.

  • After a sleepless night at Everest base camp listening to the avalanches all around and on the Khumbu ice fall/glacier I was up at 4:15am.

    The night was so cold that bottles of water inside the tents froze – along with the occupants (apparently it hit -30deg Celcius).

    Unfortunately for me I still had bad case of diarrhea and two weeks of this had still left me fairly weak.
