You probably signed up to the PhotoCPL E-bomb to get tons of watery wave images sent to your inbox. This week…and the next few are going to be a tremendous disappointment for you. Sorry, but honestly, not really.

Me and the Missus are off on a big Southy mission. It was planned for last year, and then earlier this. 3 of the lockdowns literally coincided with the times blocked out for this mission. We were starting to think we could control lockdowns by squiggling on the year planner.

The boards are strapped to the side of the Troopy, wetties in the lockbox and water-housing stowed inside. But these things are hopeful sidebars. The main purpose is going inland and doing some overlanding. We do have a Troopy after all and isn’t that what they are made for. We aren’t going hardcore, in fact probably the softest overland trip in NZ; the Rainbow Road to Hamner, just to get a taste. I can’t wait to get there.

Instead of boosting down the North Island to the ferry, we hurried slowly, two blissful days in Wakapapa. What? Ruapehu in autumn with no snow, are you mental? Well actually, it was pretty damn cool, exploring some of the walks, going up the Skywaka, High Tea at the Chateau.
