Reaching Wellington was a huge achievement for The Big Walk; however, the final steps up to Parliament represented the start of the real purpose of the campaign.
On Tuesday we had almost every participant from TBW in the capital to spend time with CEOs, Ministers, and each other, to discuss their own life challenges and transformational [...]

December 30 and we had ascended and descended some very steep faces to exit at Forest Stream (in the North Island it would clearly be known as a river; 500m wide and braided). We then had to follow the stream for about 6km to reach Cynthia and Bill with the pick-up vehicles which had come [...]

Just before Christmas The Big Walk’s North Island contingent strode into Auckland and what better way to celebrate their arrival … than a bit more walking!!!
We figured the best way to mark the milestone of reaching the city of volcanoes was to scale one of them! But which one? There are 48(ish) to choose from [...]

Alone again. The plan was to pedal 15 kilometres to Mt Creighton Station then go over the top to Queenstown. I was feeling lethargic when I started but soon got into the rhythm and found myself going like a looney. I expected Mt. Creighton to be signposted but it wasn’t and I pedalled on along [...]

With The Big Walk nearing the end of its third week, one of the most encouraging insights emerging is the depth of commitment towards youth development in the most isolated pockets of the country. Rest assured, Heartland New Zealand is alive and well, underpinned by the core values we associate with our nation.

What a day to begin: sun shining down on the Far North, moderate Northerly, and a bus full of cheerful Kiwi Can kids from a range of Primary Schools in the area – one of them, Wirimu, seemed to take a like to the Pou Rongo stick and soon became its carer for the day!

What a week! Five keynote speeches, four trips in a plane, 100+ hours of last-minute prep, and the opportunity to meet two fantastic additions to The Big Walk team!
After the red-eye flight to Wellington on Friday, I gave the closing address to a conference of IT professionals. Afterwards, I phoned Ding to see how his [...]

With the start of The Big Walk just 3 days away the last pieces of preparation puzzle are falling into place. One of the most recent developments has been the adding of promotional signs to the two Britz 4WDs and trailers.

Last week I joined a bunch of Summer and Winter Olympians, adventurers, business owners and outdoor gurus as The North Face officially opened its first flagship store in New Zealand.
