MattW was solely responsible for putting together this schedule. My only requisite was that we visit some of the sites where LOTR was filmed. :)
Also, kiwi_outdoors from the Ninja 250 forum recommended some adventure caving. Heck yea! Hopefully I'll be able to get in some adventure caving as well as canyoning (see links on left). Where better to do this than in beautiful Kiwi country?
