  • 105: A Multi-Day Canyoning Trip in Abel Tasman with Aimee Jules
    Sep 13 2024

    Aimee Jules is based out of Nelson and has recently started canyoning. As a beginner, she shares about what canyoning is, how to get started and what gear you need. Aimee shares about a five day canyoning trip with her partner in the Abel Tasman, where they kayaked between campsites and canyons. At one location, the duo had to make a hard call to bail on the canyon, after Aimee was feeling emotionally and physically exhausted and terrified. She talks about other awesome locations around NZ for canyoning. As a photographer and filmmaker, Aimee Jules loves to document her own and other people's epic adventures.

  • 104: Avalanche-Bealey Traverse and Pursuing Adventures with Neurological Disorders with Nick Allen
    Sep 6 2024
    Nick Allen has had a love for adventure since he did the Pinnacles Hut at age 7. Nick has fibromyalgia and FND, neurological disorders that make it incredibly challenging to pursue his outdoor passions. He shares about a recent winter adventure doing the Avalance-Bealey Traverse in Arthur's Pass and describes it as "walking a knife's edge." Nick was grateful that this adventure didn't lead to a relapse and hopes to continue to get outdoors. His advice to make the outdoors more inclusive is to look out for everyone in a group, communicate well and don't fixate on the goal. Nick runs a charity called Mastering Mountains that helps others with MS and FND get rehab and smash their outdoor goals.

  • 103: The Ultimate New Zealand South Island Road Trip in Winter with Barb and Reg
    Aug 30 2024

    Barb and Reg are well-travelled, having been to every continent between them. Host Abigail talks to her in-laws about their successful three week road trip around the South Island, where the challenges were few. Barb and Reg share their favourite experiences, from Doubtful Sound to a small pounamu store. They reflect on what makes New Zealand a special destination compared to other parts of the world - it is peaceful and quiet. Their advice to other people that want to visit is to allow as much time as possible, to travel in a campervan, and to let yourself slow down and enjoy the experience.
