two weeks

2010-09-15T14:58:00.000-07:00

sore feet, wild camping, sunburn, snobbery towards people using b&bs, a singing troupe of retired ramblers, steam trains, beer, super noodles, pitching tents in gale-force winds, and pokemon sapphire.

two hundred miles. the irish sea to the north sea. finished.

best times!

it's like heartbreak

2010-08-29T05:00:00.000-07:00

going backpacking for two weeks in a couple of days. st bees to robin hood's bay. 192 miles. there isn't really any scope to take a camera that weighs half a kilo, that's like, two days' food. these are sad times.

soon to be bald in the name of raising money for the Department of Gastroenterology at Hallamshire Hospital, who've been super helpful to her over the last couple of years and who deserve thanks for their hard work! If you want to sponsor Susie to have me shave her head (bahahaha) please donate here, or come along to Ecclesall Parish Church between 2 and 4pm on Saturday 17th July :)

it's summer

2010-07-07T12:41:00.000-07:00

And maybe we set the park on fire, and maybe we didn't. Shh. Also, I have discovered that I'm not very good at Risk.

Home! Surprise welcome party of the best people and my first pint of ale for 5 weeks made me very happy. :)

36.

2010-06-24T06:12:00.000-07:00

Mid-air somewhere over Iraq.

35.

2010-06-23T06:08:00.000-07:00

Bye bye Kate, I'm off to spend my last night in New Zealand alone in a hostel in Auckland.

34.

2010-06-22T05:58:00.000-07:00

Maori place names are sweet as.

i'm excited

2010-06-22T03:02:00.000-07:00

by the potential of seeing Godspeed You! Black Emperor four times in five days, and the certainty of seeing them at least twice. means coming back to england isn't so bad after all.

there is no photograph to sum this up.

33.

2010-06-21T05:44:00.000-07:00

The webcam kept freezing so I wrapped it up so it would be warm and not freeze. I like clouds.

32.

Watching the rubgy in a house full of animals.

30.

2010-06-18T05:25:00.000-07:00

Amazing toilet, cultural times in Waitangi (did you know the main reason the British and Maori people originally made an agreement over British dominion in New Zealand was to keep the French out?), graffitied coffee shop in the Bay of Islands.

29.

2010-06-17T23:52:00.000-07:00

Birds! There are no native mammals in New Zealand so they have an incredible variety of birds.

28.

2010-06-16T23:48:00.000-07:00

Around Whangarei and Ngunguru.

26.

2010-06-15T21:18:00.000-07:00

South Island has pretty mountains but North Island has pretty seaside.

25.

2010-06-14T21:15:00.000-07:00

Killing time in Starbucks in Auckland before arriving back in Ngunguru, my mood was lifted because there was a teddy bear in my room and an Adam on Skype.

24.

2010-06-13T21:09:00.000-07:00

Why you should never travel with TranzScenic trains:

1. Your train will break down at Wellington station and you will have to spend 6 hours on a coach.
2. The replacement train will be late picking you up halfway because it collided with a cow enroute.
3. The 'scenic' viewing windows at the back of the train will be obscured by the train's engine because they can't turn the carriages around.
4. The windows will be made of the world's most reflective glass.
5. They will mist up anyway.
6. You will get delayed for an hour just outside of Auckland.
7. The buffet will run out of food.

23.

2010-06-12T21:05:00.000-07:00

Wellington! I wish I had more than half a day here, it's so lovely and pretty. Way better than Invercargill.

22.

2010-06-11T20:56:00.000-07:00

French people make good veggie lasagne and Kiwi people make good brownies (but slightly suspicious 'tea'... that wasn't what I expected when I asked for a cuppa).

21.

2010-06-10T20:40:00.000-07:00

If you hang out with digital media students, you end up filming chase scenes in the back streets of Invercargill. Queenstown friends came down to see Ester's gig, then we found underlay which we were given for free by the workmen, and Sam taught me to play backgammon.

20.

2010-06-09T03:55:00.000-07:00

Finding things that remind me of Sheffield, steel balls and energy drink, before fun with a torch and a visit to the observatory that couldn't get their telescope focussed properly.

19.

2010-06-08T03:41:00.000-07:00

Invercargill! So far south right now :D

18.

2010-06-07T03:24:00.000-07:00

Fiordland is incredible. You don't get much of a sense of scale on these photographs, but look at the first picture. See that waterfall? That waterfall is three times the size of the Niagra Falls.

17.

2010-06-06T03:18:00.000-07:00

A day that began with a disastrous spillage in a coffee shop, progressed to a matching-hat bungy jump and ended with an "English" bar (which apparently means that cocktails come in teapots).

16.

2010-06-05T20:23:00.000-07:00

Climbed a big hill, found a frozen possum, ate a famous Fergburger, spoke lots of German.

15.

2010-06-04T20:03:00.000-07:00

Queenstown. I love it here. It has the same atmosphere as towns in the French alps do, and I'm staying in the world's most colourful hostel.

14.

2010-06-03T19:57:00.000-07:00

Auckland, and a lonely night at Queen Street hostel.

13.

2010-06-02T19:53:00.000-07:00

I ate a kiwi in kiwi-land. Bye for now Ngunguru.

12.

2010-06-01T19:49:00.000-07:00

Changing weather in Ngunguru, and I found a house that thinks it's a ship.

11.

2010-05-31T19:37:00.000-07:00

Kate and I were fish saviours. Well, two out of three times, we were too late to save the last one.

10.

2010-05-30T16:17:00.000-07:00

Whale Bay, I didn't see any whales though. I did see shells that ran away from me, and Kate and Jeff climbing trees.

9.

2010-05-29T16:10:00.000-07:00

Climbed up a hill using the super strong New Zealand plants to prevent slipping and falling to our deaths. Built a fire in a big hole in the ground, then took the ash out and put food in, then buried the food for a number of hours, then ate it. Half a lamb, 6 chickens, pumpkin, potatoes and kumara which is pronounced KOO-mh-rh and is like sweet potato. They don't have ovens here, apparently. Went bowling and my feet were too small for the adult shoes so I got kid's shoes with velcro :D

8.

2010-05-28T02:40:00.000-07:00

Fed the ducks, found a swamp, went to Sandy Bay and then Matapouri Bay and then swam at another bay whose name I have forgotten.

7.

2010-05-26T14:10:00.000-07:00

Rainy day, I saw a dog on a truck.

6.

2010-05-26T01:24:00.000-07:00

Went up Parihaka (which used to be called Parahaki) and saw a rainbow and silver ferns. Fell in love with a kitten and found some crazy-looking hens. Had fun with hair dye.

5.

2010-05-25T02:27:00.000-07:00

Drove to Whangarei Falls, which were big and impressive. Wandered around the town basin until it rained again, after which I learnt to fly in Ngunguru.

4.

2010-05-24T13:16:00.000-07:00

Whangarei is rainy and is pronounced differently to how you'd expect.

3.

2010-05-23T13:06:00.000-07:00

A good cup of tea, Kate doesn't like having her photo taken, Ngunguru and Wellington Beach are nice, dead fish that tried to chase us.

2.

2010-05-22T13:03:00.000-07:00

I lost Friday, but I made it to Auckland. Melbourne airport is very quiet at 5am.

2010-05-20T12:51:00.000-07:00

Complimentary toothbrush and toothpaste saved my life.

2010-05-06T20:47:00.000-07:00

I have to get up for work in 2 hours. Seriously, what's the point of sleep when I could watch this country go slowly down the drain?

2010-03-28T09:12:00.000-07:00

surrounded by old upholstery shops and a hairdresser's which also sells dvds.

exultation of beer

2010-03-27T04:07:00.000-07:00

1: it's cheaper to drink moonshine at my local pub than at the pub in which i work. my pub's a nicer place to drink it though.
2: somebody once sent me a text message which read, "o, the subtlties and mysteries of moonshine! how sweet its flavour; how tender its glow!", and i think that's a good description of the above beer.
3: olympus om-10.

don't use hdr in this situation

2010-03-22T17:20:00.000-07:00

unless you really want your boyfriend to end up with two noses.

and... bragging rights, final fantasy xiii :)

it's cold outside

2010-02-23T04:48:00.001-08:00

and sledging at night time results in injuries.

Mmmm!

excellent headwear

2010-02-08T12:27:00.000-08:00

I'm going to abduct this hat one day soon. It's the warmest thing I've ever worn.

2010-02-03T09:19:00.000-08:00

This photo was taken from Win Hill. Near Win Hill is Lose Hill. In between lies the Hope Valley. You write the story.

I miss this day, it was a good day.

three of me

2010-02-02T05:22:00.000-08:00

Playing with a flash gun. I think I've blinded myself permanently.

it's like something out of saw

2010-01-16T15:18:00.000-08:00

I'm going to do something like this again soon, if only because the strand of hair that's got caught on my shoulder is annoying me greatly. Also, I have an idea.

2010-01-01T16:22:00.000-08:00

it's a shame most of the christmas period was in film, photographs will follow in the next couple of weeks.
