Last weekend I attempted the Tip Track Marathon again - 6 laps up and down one of the hardest, most notorious tracks in Wellington. Last year I managed 3 laps before my body quit. How far would I get…

The path to...

This path leads deep into the wilderness on Mt. Athos, Greece. It's old, very old. This path was probably laid down before European explorers found my homeland of New Zealand. I walked along it from…

Cliff-top monastery

The hanging monasteries of Meteora are really something to see, especially at dawn as the sun catches with cliff-tops and paints them all sorts of vivid colours. We arrived before the other tourists…

How’s that for a milestone?

It’s taken a while – just over one year and a month, but I finally clocked up 2500kms in my road shoes. That’s a pretty good milestone I think. Add in the 200kms I’ve done in my Hokas and a similar a…
