  • 106: Overlanding in the Old Man Range and 4WD Trips with Jono Hitchcox
    Sep 20 2024

    Jono Hitchcox shares about a 5 day Overlanding journey in the Old Man Range with a community of 4WD enthusiats. Growing up in Timaru, Jono's love for the outdoors started with tramping and road trips as a family. When he got his driver's license, he started to get off road more and a love for 4WD was born. In 2018, Jono started a YouTube channel, Lost Sheep Adventures, to help others learn more about overlanding in New Zealand. He hosted their first annual community trip in 2022 to the Old Man Range and faced challenges in the snow and changing weather conditions before ultimately having to bail before the end. Jono shares advice for beginners that want to explore New Zealand in a 4WD vehicle and tips for finding suitable tracks.

  • 104: Avalanche-Bealey Traverse and Pursuing Adventures with Neurological Disorders with Nick Allen
    Sep 6 2024
    Nick Allen has had a love for adventure since he did the Pinnacles Hut at age 7. Nick has fibromyalgia and FND, neurological disorders that make it incredibly challenging to pursue his outdoor passions. He shares about a recent winter adventure doing the Avalance-Bealey Traverse in Arthur's Pass and describes it as "walking a knife's edge." Nick was grateful that this adventure didn't lead to a relapse and hopes to continue to get outdoors. His advice to make the outdoors more inclusive is to look out for everyone in a group, communicate well and don't fixate on the goal. Nick runs a charity called Mastering Mountains that helps others with MS and FND get rehab and smash their outdoor goals.
