The many faces of Lake Mavis | Patricks New Zealand Weblog

http://blog.psdavey.com/2014/12/13/the-many-faces-of-lake-mavis

The many faces of Lake Mavis. December 13, 2014. Nice to be able to reuse the map from the last time we were at lake Mavis. Funnily enough, I wasn’t expecting to find it quite as easy as last time, but actually it was fine. Unsure why! Nice enough walk in, if busy, as there were quite a lot of people out practising for the Coast to Coast race (early Feb). Saw these guys on the way up. And, submitted again to naturewatch. I do love that website :). Click here to cancel reply. Have yis been over here.

Pow Pow. | Patricks New Zealand Weblog

http://blog.psdavey.com/2015/02/03/pow-pow

February 3, 2015. This video was taken from my impromptu stag. one of my challenges was to get down Kandahar as fast as I could. Tim? 8217;s best time was 1 minute 50 ish? And here’s a short video of me going through some trees. And… there was time for being silly. ;). Anyway, it was completely amazing – I think I’m basically spoiled for life now! 6 Responses to “Pow Pow.”. March 16, 2015. Love the last one as a transport choice ;-). March 16, 2015. March 17, 2015. What on earth are you wearing? Ah, you&...

North West Circuit of Stewart Island | Patricks New Zealand Weblog

http://blog.psdavey.com/2014/12/30/north-west-circuit-of-stewart-island

North West Circuit of Stewart Island. December 30, 2014. Looks small doesn’t it? Well, the North West Circuit is no small walk. It’s not exactly like biking the entire length of the South Island to raise money for charity. Like Ruth and Neil and Mark did recently (well done! What a mission), but it was quite hard work all the same. The NW circuit is a 10 day walk, but we cut off the first almost 2 days by getting a water taxi to freshwater landing. Here’s a link to topomap. Anyway, great sunset at Masons...

Quail Island | Patricks New Zealand Weblog

http://blog.psdavey.com/2015/03/22/quail-island

March 22, 2015. There is an island in the middle of Lyttleton harbour called Quail Island. View Larger Topographic Map. There was a trip organised to go there by the local royal society, and I happen to be on their mailing list – so off I went. Had a nice day walking around, seeing the various efforts at pest eradication (reasonably successful, though one of the party were pretty sure they saw a rabbit – which they thought they’d cleared off).

Lake Mavis | Patricks New Zealand Weblog

http://blog.psdavey.com/2010/02/28/lake-mavis

February 28, 2010. Haven’t stretched my legs in quite a while – but that has been changing a little. Played squash (with Warick) for the first time in 4 years last week – loved it. Even if I lost! Also, there’s the Taylors Mistake Rogaine Series. Happening again – very excited about that one too. Anyways – this weekend it was off to Lake Mavis (Arthurs Pass) with Maaike, Berit and Amy. Here’s a map:. It’s part of the route that Shelly ran a couple of weeks ago during the Coast to Coast event. The decent ...

Tokyo Fish Market | Patricks New Zealand Weblog

http://blog.psdavey.com/2015/01/25/tokyo-fish-market

January 25, 2015. Well, I’m afraid as was mentioned in the comments on the previous post, I didn’t actually go to the fish market. I was pretty tired after the plane trip (even though I got 4 hours of sleep, which is quite a lot for me). Anyway, Maaike Dan and Can went off to see it. I think I probably would have found it simply a little sad. You weren’t supposed to take pictures, but Maaike seemed to manage anyway. Apparently the sushi they had after was delicious!

Japan – Toyko | Patricks New Zealand Weblog

http://blog.psdavey.com/2015/01/24/japan-toyko

Japan – Toyko. January 24, 2015. 10 of us headed to Japan for a ski trip. In a way it was our pre-wedding honeymoon (certainly fit the budget for it anyway ;) . Flew down on Air New Zealand, and for once, it was great not having that bad of a time difference (just 4 hours). Anyway, into Toyko and then took the bullet train (the slower class of bullet train) into Toyko central. Tokyo, well, there’s a city and no mistake. It’s really very. Tell me that’s not a little confusing! One thing you notice is the ...

Patricks New Zealand Weblog

Light-hearted thoughts on Brexit, Climate Change and Population. June 24, 2016. Happened. That is, Britain had a referendum and by 52% to 48% voted to leave the EU. It was an odd thing to wake up to. The markets went a little down, the pound lost a little on the foreign exchanges, but has made most of it up again. A lot of unknowns. Will it ultimately DOOM! I have no idea. Of us on the planet. CO2 going up and up – as this chart below from NASA shows. It’s given by Sandi, and she gives a history of...
