This was an adventure of a different sort for me, in the last year I had gotten a lot more into biking and while most of that was road related a friend and I had started into the foray of bike packing.

For a long time I had wanted to walk the Abel Tasman track, which is one of Doc’s great walks in New Zealand and I finally got motivated enough to plan a trip and get out and do it. We made out way up towards the track on a Tuesday night and stayed in one of the local camp grounds, the next […]
