    I hope you would have gladly given him a reach around if he'd asked

    Dunno about that but if I had my time again, I would have pre thought some better questions. The ones I asked were proper stupid retarded ones ... I was trying too hard to think of something different to what he normally gets.

    Completely clusterfuck all around honestly!

    But still, bucket list for sure!

    @MajorRage You did way better than I did when I had lunch with the current AB captain last Wednesday at Queenstown airport.

    It was a @jegga lunch and I didn't actually speak to Kieran and his family (although I wanted to).

    I'm hoping you asked his views on SBWs latest self indulgent antics with sufficient scorn in your voice ?

    @MN5 I was going to, but then I remembered that like the last 50, I don't give a flying fuck about the latest attention-seeking-effort by SBW and didn't ask.

    So, Bucket List item of sorts.

    I've got some Long Service Leave coming up in October, and while one of the things on my bucket list will be ticked off (Uluru road trip) another activity I'm keen on is some hiking (tramping to you lot) in NZ.

    I have to make it a fairly quick trip, as if I spent the time I wanted (i.e. 3 months doing Te Araroa) I don't think Mrs TA would be thrilled holding down the fort by herself. So I've got about 8-10 days lined up, all on the North Island. I'd love to get going on the South Island but would leave that one until high summer.

    Bits I've figured out:

    Depart Sydney, hire a car in Auckland
    Spend 2 nights chilling with RB at Te Aroha. Walk some local trails while there.
    Head down to Lake Tarawera for an overnight camp.
    Across to Mount Egmont NP for the Pouakai Circuit
    Up to Waitomo for Blackwater Rafting and Glow Worm Cave - 2 nights I suppose
    Back in the car to Auckland and fly home

    Probably doing this around 1st week of November. The big question is whether the snow in Egmont NP will have cleared in time for that?

    Should be no worries snow wise on Egmont in November. Have you thought of going up? A good day trip and they have naked women at the top.

    @NTA Best calling it Mt Taranaki too. Very few call it by it's english name and will likely rub a few people the wrong way

    Pouakai Circuit

    To be fair on Nick, it is still the Egmont NP, only the Maunga has changed name.

    Nick, if you get a chance, walk around this side http://www.doc.govt.nz/Documents/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/wanganui/dawson-falls-east-egmont-brochure-and-map.PDF

    Between Wilkies Pools and the swingbridge you can see marked is the Goblin Forest. Awesome at that time of year as everything is very fresh and green (greener than the greenest green thing you can imagine)

    Oh, and consider adding in Tongariro National Park then down SH43 through the independent state of Whangamomona on your way to the Naki.
    Full moon on 4 November which could fit in with a night time Tongariro Crossing for you

    Actually either is acceptable.

    Official name is "Mount Taranaki or Mount Egmont".

    Refer: http://www.linz.govt.nz/regulatory/place-names/find-name/new-zealand-gazetteer-official-geographic-names/new-zealand-gazetteer-search-place-names#zoom=9&lat=-39.29622&lon=174.0638&layers=BTTT

    Note that I'm referring to Egmont National Park. I didn't know the mountain had any other name other than Taranaki
