It's cooling down at last...

Temperature is a very nice 20c here ATM, humidity 86%, it's a bit high though but with all the rain we have had recently....

I hate hot weather, I would like to live in NZ, Dunedin or maybe Wellington

Anyone been to those places ?

Its only just started to warm up a bit here in england, its quite often reaching double figures during the afternoon now! And it staying daylight till 6pm!! Yay! Its been a bitterly cold winter, have still been battling through the numb fingers and getting out on the ttr though! Its been fun actually smashing through the thick layer of ice on top of puddles out on the trails. But you feel as if you are in a bit of a rush when you are looking to be home by 4pm! Anyway heres to the spring and summer, we welcome you with open arms! Looking forward to some decent rides!

 I love it in NZ, been there 3 times now

2nd time was Akaroa, up the east coast, Nelson, Picton, across the gap to Wellington, Napier, Whanganui etc..

Already planning a 4th trip, this time by Electric Pushbike (My knees can't take a normal pushbike anymore)

Want to do the run from Mt Cook to Oamaru, the trail into Milford should be done by then, ever been there ?

 

On the water at Milford Sound during a huge storm that went on all the previous night and all day, it was pretty spectacular...

 They say NZ bush is the closet on the plant to what the dineo use to live in..

is very dence / dark / damp

Millford is also one of the highest rain fall areas on the plant.. great place

to dive... around 6m of fresh water on top of the salt water with a oily looking

mixing zone between them that no light can penatrate... means the shallowest

growing black coral in the world..

50 feet down on a sunny day and it black...

Millford sounds are at the bottom west corner of the south island...
