who’s not honouring me now?
I’m NOT one of the 20 finalists in Air New Zealand‘s Great Walker Challenge.
Click PLAY or watch my application on YouTube.
Though “qualified” as anyone of the 20 finalists, I wasn’t chosen.
My plans for 9 weeks in New Zealand, dashed.
pursued by wolves on the North Coast Trail
Another fantastic adventure on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
Magical.
Weird and wonderful.
Here’s my 7-day trip report… and “recommendations“:
The provocative title is intended to dissuade those who might not survive.
Oh, the “pursued by wolves” story, … that’s here.
survived the North Coast Trail
The North Coast Trail – Cape Scott is brutally difficult, especially the first two days. Decidedly tougher than the West Coast Trail.
Charmed as I am, we had no rain for 7 days!
🙂
That helped. A lot.
Trip report and photos to come.
two hikes in the eastern Sierras
Love this part of the world. I can’t imagine any better climate / weather for hiking.
• Kearsarge Pass – SUCCESS
• hiking Big Pine Lakes

I’m visiting gyms and Camps in California for Tumbl Trak.
hiking the Olympic peninsula
Check my hiking trip report from the Ozette Loop on the Olympic peninsula, Washington.

my hikes in Asia
All trip reports and photos are now posted. I hiked in Japan, Hong Kong and Macao.
On the Dragon’s Back, Hong Kong island
Hong Kong is the best major city in the world for hiking. Here are my 3 trip reports.
Japan did not go well for me, hiking wise. But here’s my definitive recommendation for anyone going there for a hiking holiday who wants to do it right – best hikes Japan.
And here are my hiking posts / trip reports tagged Japan.
