Now THAT is something that I would never have been able to do in the UK!

So a BIG well done and congratulations to all those who did the City To Surf run here in Christchurch today. A massive from me to all those who took part.

I managed to stagger 'round in 1 hr, 11 minutes and 30 seconds. Not too shabby for a fatty

I start rugby next week - another thing I haven't done in years.

New Zealand.... it's good here, innit?

I went for 2 surfs yesterday, 4 hours in total, absolutely knackered now....but it was pretty good over at New Brighton yesterday morning.

Looks like there will be waves in Chch for the whole of this week, and into next weekend. If you want to have a go, PM me, and I'll take you in. Be warned - Mother Nature will humble you, but it's a great laugh. I'm not lovely however.......but can show you what to do and lend you some gear.
