Takaka

Yaay, so here I am in Takaka - or rather Paynes ford, the rock climbing area - where I am camping in a climbers only camp ground due to high demand. So I am surrounded by climbers and really cool people, all into doing the same things as me - climbing and not much else!

Saying that there are options to do tramps in the 2 close National Parks, the Abel Tasman and the Kahurangi as well as mountain biking in the surrounding hills and swimming in the river that runs at the bottom of the lime stone crags we climb on.

All in all with the temperatures in the late 20's and me basking in the sun whilst doing outdoor pursuits I'm going to wish you a Merry Christmas, and I hope the weather does something proper like snow!

Fantastic to read your blog - Ricky - Thanks so much for being sooooo inspiring! Sounds wonderful and I'm chuffed to bits for you that you have seemed to have found your vocation. Hope that you have a wonderful new year and much love from Jules and I .
Calx From a very snowy Cumbria - yes it's been a pretty incredible last few weeks - snow on the Lakes and the Pennines and a few snow ball fights - nothing like NZ though!
