Amsterdam to Paris

Amsterdam to Paris

I visited Europe for the first time in 2019. I didn’t want to leave without doing a multi-day bikepacking trip. I had loosely imagined riding from Amsterdam to Paris, but didn’t actually start planning until a week before departure. Triggered by a mid-winter slump in the southern hemisphere, my friend Ian from Melbourne decided to join the adventure. He landed on Thursday evening, and we set off that Saturday.

Hitchin Range - Price Basin - Whitcombe River

Apparently, it doesn't rain in Westland, and transalpinism doesn't have to equate to suffering.

Bikepacking through the Slovenian Alps and ending with an ultra marathon

Bikepacking through the Slovenian Alps and ending with an ultra marathon

A two week bikepacking trip in the lead up to an ultramarathon is probably not recommended training. But the heart wants what the hearts wants.

Solo Hiking the Motatapu Track

Solo Hiking the Motatapu Track

In the autumn of 2024, I solo hiked the Motatapu Track in New Zealand. This 49 km point-to-point hike follows remote valleys and steep ridges between Wanaka and Arrowtown. The journey took me through the changing colours of autumn, with fresh snow, as I tackled long climbs and descents, camping along the way and enjoying the beauty of New Zealand's South Island.

New Zealand - Northbound North Island

New Zealand - Northbound North Island

A fun little taste of the North Island by bike. The first part of the trip took me from Wellington to Havelock North, mostly on gravel and paved roads. The second part of the trip was from Taupo to Auckland, almost entirely on bike paths.

The Gardens of Eden/Allah (Wanganui - Whataroa)

A trip to the ice plateaus without getting stuck up there in a storm - but we had enough other challenges.

My first proper foray into Westland, years of dreaming about a remote looking spot on a map finally panned out into an 8 day epic.

An ode to Ida

An ode to Ida

A bikepacking trip designed around visiting the wonderful Ida Hut in the Hawkdun Range, with some extra squiggles for the giggles and to make it a loop.

Serpentine Range - Five Passes

Serpentine Range - Five Passes

Years after an ill fated visit to North Col, five or six cancelled attempts of (roughly) this trip behind me - the wait was long but worth it. A weather window good enough to do the five passes in comfort, with a few little twists.
