In December 2003, TRFer Peter Angell spent some quality time in New Zealand, trail riding with Grenville Button of Adventure Trailrides. They covered 330 miles over three days, mainly off tarmac.

These resulting photos are intended to delight you, and fill you with envy...

Vast open spaces...

Astounding views...

Up on top of the world.

And still with time to take it easy over lunch.

No Man's Creek.

Covering some territory quickly. Of the 330 miles in total, only about 50 were spent on tarmac.

Wish you were here?

And when it was all over (but not before!) we got drenched.
