He's having difficulty fitting everything into the rucksack he ordered in Dublin - most of it is still on the kitchen floor. Roy Schneider's line from Jaws springs to mind:
Meanwhile I think I have things under control as long as my body doesn't buckle under the weight of the fifty kilo cargo bag I will be attempting to carry.
I can see us setting off with a string of Ortlieb bags in tow when we set off on Monday 1st.
Stanfords rose to the challenge of sending maps of the Central and Southern parts of South Island published by Kiwimaps by return of post. Really impressed with them for doing that since they only got the order from me yesterday morning.
I am quite taken with the idea of exploring the new Around the Mountains cycle route shown on the latest editions which was opened last year. If I do this it should be fairly free of traffic for the most part and it looks interesting - though I like meeting people too and don't want to spend the whole trip in the wilderness. More consideration needed. Have you met anyone who has done this route?
