Pre-adventure adventure!

After Pommy Gaz at work had upped his MPH (moans per hours) to some obscene limit, I eventually caved and agreed to go Kayaking with him out to Rangitoto island from Takapuna.
He hired some kayaks, and Steve also came along with his own. We launched at around 10am and it only really took an hour of serene water and peaceful easy kayaking to get across the water to Rangitoto. After we hit the beach and packed up our kayaks, we proceeded to walk up the very gentle slope of the Rangitoto track. It took us about 1 hour to get up to the summit - only the last part of the hill climb was steep, and it wasn't really all that bad. The views however, were amazing, just incredible. The weather was on our side and we had a picture perfect day.

I have some photos in my album, so go check them out! Gaz took some photo's too, but he was a muppet and dropped his camera in the water, ruining it for all time :-) Lucky for him it was a free work phone/camera haha. Here are the few photo's that survived the trip! (They are all Steve Kyne original's). http://picasaweb.google.com/gscottmj/RangitotoColonisation

The trip back was a little bit harder, with the wind picking up a little and making it a little bit choppy, but we still made it back in record time of about 40 minutes. Very awesome day and I will have to take my camera next time for some awesome snaps.

4 sleeps and 2 gyms to go! :-)
