Welcome to New Zealand North to South – A step-by-step adventure that’ll have me walking the length of the country.

As well as exploring “The Land of the Long White Cloud”, I’ll be fundraising for some causes that are dear to me.

I’d also like top say a big thank you to Peter & Sabrina Griffiths at

shark-knives.com   As well as putting up with me while me feet healed, they also kindly donated a knife to my kit. It’s a beauty…

   From personalised outdoor knives (like mine) to all-round kitchen choppers, these works of craft will not dissapoint. If your looking for a new tool or a flashy present then you can’t go wrong with these blades!
