Okay Team, as of Monday we will be on the road in our great Southern Adventure (note the capital letters). We’ll be out of touch with you over the Christmas break. Just so you can follow us (say in Google Earth<\/a>) … so Leigh, Calgary, me and two weeks worth of support gear …..<\/p>\n

18 Dec — I pick up trailer (caravan) in Kaiapoi then travel on to Timaru – a farm Community in Southern Canterbury. It’s an unknown quantity because …. we’ve never stopped there longer than it took to scarf down a whopper.<\/p>\n

19-23 Dec — In and around the Catlins (south of Dunedin) – wild coasts, forests and apparently VERY nice. People go —“Ohhh that will be nice” when I tell them.<\/p>\n

24-26 Dec — Invercargill …. where the “Worlds Fastest Indian” was filmed. Home Of Bluff Oysters and … well the southernmost city in NZ. It is considered to be the dullest place in NZ. I think it will be great!<\/p>\n

26-29 Dec — Manapori – on the edge of the lakes district and Fiordland. Rugged splendor in bucketfuls.<\/p>\n

30 Dec — Some place starting with “W” and I cannot remember ….. who cares because it is only for one night …<\/p>\n

31 Dec and 1 Jan — Geraldine in South Canterbury. A neat little community on the edge of the mountains. Its a very pretty area. My only firm memory is that there is a very good cheese shop. What else matters.<\/p>\n

1-3 Jan — Christchurch and Culverton then home. Exact timing to be determined. We are picking up Sam (who is Christmas’ing with his Dad) and heading north and things are a little “flexible” at this point in time ….<\/p>\n

So you can see that this is going to be a bit of an interesting trip. I’m determined to buy a digital camera today and take some reasonable photos for you to enjoy. I’ll not be a good as Doc Terry but …..We can only try.<\/p>\n

So please all of you take care, have a great break with the families, remain calm or well medicated throughout and …. big hugs to you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
