The creators of New Zealand's iconic (full north to south) Tour Aotearoa route have been busily putting together other ways of bike-packing across, through and around our scenic backblocks.

One of these is Sounds2Sounds, which caught Bruce's attention late last year, partly because the route begins right in our backyard. We live in the Marlborough Sounds at the top of Te Wai Pounamu (the South Island).  Ship Cove, the event's start point, is an hour's boat ride up Queen Charlotte Sound. The finish is some 1,500 km away, at Milford Sound in Fiordland.

After months of intense training, extensive equipment research (and subsequent necessary purchases), the only task left on his checklist was to engage the services of a reputable ghost writer for this journal. So here I am, keyboard primed and ready to transcribe. Come along for the ride!

Tricia GrahamWhooo that tealy looks a challenge. Just wish I was 40,5o or 60 years younger and could try it. It certainly should be a magnificent ride
