Thanks for checking out my website. Computer geeking is one of my hobbies. As you may see from my blog I also enjoy tramping, cycling and adventuring in the outdoor paradise which is New Zealand.

After graduating from University of Canterbury in 1999, I worked as an extreme weeder for the New Zealand Department of Conservation, spending time on Stewart Island and Raoul Island, our northernmost territory.

From 2003 - 2006 I spent three years overseas - one year in Queensland, Australia and the rest of the time backpacking through Yemen, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Cambodia, Myanmar, India and China (as well as Jordan, Turkey, UAE, Laos, Thailand).

Currently I am a science teacher at Nelson College.

Hi Tristan
Really enjoyed your 19 day trek posting. About to do the Camelot/Cozette etc area and interested in your comment on ‘difficulties’ getting past Lake Norma. Can you eloborate - as in how difficult and which side of the lake you went (Topo map suggests true right is ‘easier’).

Thanks, Graham

Lake Aorere is magic our trip was down the Marshall Range first time via Roaring Lion Hut, our second via Downeys Stream.

Parapara Peak had a cross on it to the fallen trampers in the 1960’s, is it still there?
