return to new zealand

thats it , no turning back now ! booked 2 flights to new zealand leaving the 17th of november and returning the 24th of march !

plan to land in chirstchurch , collect a pair of bikes as close to below as possible from a local shop whom ive yet to contact

ride down to see friends in invercargill , ride up the west coast to milford sound , then round to queenstown for xmas and up to wanaka for new year , continue up the west coast to nelson and picton. ferry over to wellington and ride up the center of north island to hamilton. taking in taupo and rotorua if we have time.

looking forward to it. not a cheap "holiday" by any stretch! but itll be great

just need to get "packed" and sort out some luggage ....got pannier but i think ill need more than 36 litres that i do tours here with .....

thanks to the guys on singletrackworld.co.uk and VORB.co.nz for helping me out with stuff , shop recomendations and bike recomendations.
