Northern Crossing Tararuas

I'm looking for someone to do the Northern Crossing with me from Levin to Mount Holdsworth which I guess will take 5 days. I'm a 69 year-old male,have just done the Southern Crossing. Times: 4 hrs to Kime, 3 hrs to Alpha in severe gale, 7 hours to Kaitoke. Subject always to weather, some time in March before end of daylight saving, otherwise next spring/summer. I live in Wairarapa, so would ideally need partner from Wellington/Kapiti/Wairarapa area
