Hi, I have done the St James a number of times and would always enjoy doing it again. So if you are wanting to do the tramp and want to go with someone who has done it before get in touch with me.

In 2008 I walked and later biked the Otago Central Rail Trail. Great fun.

I did the Motatapu over Easter 2009 and that was a tough one; lots of ups-and-downs and narrow ridges with steep drop-offs.

In case it isn't obvious, I am the tall one in the photo.
