10 Years in New Zealand

10 years ago I arrived in New Zealand with my friend Maeve. It seems like an age ago now, and I suppose it is, but in some ways the time has completely flown by. I’ve climbed, biked, caved, rafted, boarded, skied, paraglided, skydived, kayaked, ice climbing, mountaineering bouldering and even been canyoning. I’ve made lots of friends who have helped me through some ‘interesting’ times, not least of which were some very nasty earthquakes. I’ve created and built up (with lots of help from friends) a carpooling to ski fields website which I’m quite proud of. I have a lovely partner who helps me to get to the tops of very high windy mountains and is generally wonderful.

So yes, it has been a brilliant ten years really. Thank you to one and all who have made NZ such a wonderful place to be, and thanks to Glynn for getting everything setup, and for coming down to Christchurch with the lovely Jayne to celebrate it!
