Adventure! Just loving the blog Kathy, so happy to see you and Dave living it, and educating us!!! So much that isn't evident in the tourist mags. Have fun you two xox Jan and girls
Hi Kathy and Dave,
Love the Troopy outside the Millenium - we stayed there when we were in ChCh in March. We also had an interesting time at Flea Bay when we walked the Banks Track!! Now just back from the UK and settling back into work! Glad all is well - love reading your blog. Love J and G
great photos And it was also great to see you back in town briefly. You both look great, and as the old song says "you'll live so long you'll wish you were dead". What bloody old song? I hear the Bishop say. Well, of course, "with black strap molasses an a wheat germ bread". Don't worry about it, before youre time, or yours Cathy anyway. Kindest regards.

sore bums and Co We were following in your footsteps on the rail trail!! Chilly starts to glorious days (gel seat covers and water bottles inadvertently left outside overnight were frozen but this helped with the sore bums :-) went curling at Nasby not international standard but..... was after lunch at the pub so....... Ranfurly was the stock up point to take food and liquid refreshments to Kokonga where we self catered at an old homestead in a paddock in the middle of nowhere. got a very lively Norwester on the last day, blown off our bikes and showered with sheep shit blown off the paddocks. Awesome landscape-sorry we missed you guys would have been great to catch up!! keep on truckn. Cheers George and CLaire

Sounds and looks absolutely wonderful. Mum and Dad are heading home from Blenheim today if you are still in the area - 28 Eastons Road, Westport.
And you know that I wrote my Masters thesis on the evolution of the coalmining community of Denniston 1880-1910...
