Still in New Zealand, now in Te Anau, beside Lake Te Anau, in Fiordland on the South Island. Having tramped around the Greenstone-Caples circuit for 5 days just near Queenstown we're now off to walk the Dusky Track, a 9 day wilderness stroll through the heart of Fiordland. Which should be wet and filled with Sandflies. They bite.
Technical difficulties have conspired against us to prevent, temporarily, the posting of any pictures on this blog. We will correct the situation shortly, although this may not be for a fortnight or so whilst we wade through rivers and lakes in search of dry land on the forthcoming tramp.
New Zealand has thus far proved a delight, with lots and lots of wide open space and groovy places to stay. The weather remains mixed, from snowing to sunshine and back again, with a fair breeze to boot. After mooching about here for a while we'll be heading back up the west cost to Nelson and Picton, and then up onto the north island for a while. We are likely to remain in New Zealand until the beginning of Decemeber, now, in order to fit in various schemes for getting tired and wet.
Play up Pompey.
