Team Pic's Peanut Butter

Well we did it!!! 8 full days of adventure later Team Pics Slippery Slope completed godzone chapter 7. 10th in the pursuit teams. We can’t begin to tell you what a truly epically, amazingly hard work adventure it was in a few words but we hope the smiles /grimaces/confusion on our faces in these photos tells you enough!

Thank you so so much to our ridiculous amazing support crew who with out them we would still be of there cold, wet and very hungry. These guys literally had sleepless nights looking out for and looking after us.

To all the people at ‘earth sea sky’ who really helped us out with theeeeee Best clothing we could ask for.... we Defo needed the waterproof jacket! To Heartland chips for sending us4 whole boxes of crunchy goodness to munch on.... we have nearly eaten them all! And of course to Pics Peanut butter, not only for the epic team name but for providing a ridiculous amount of peanut butter which has kept us fuelled throughout our journey!

And finally we would like to thank all our friends, family and followers for your support. We have probably all been a little bit useless in social situations lately either by not being there or falling asleep while there due to the demands of godzone training. We promise to make it up to you know though as for now we have retired our feet and hiking pack..... until the next adventure begins!

Thank you so much once again. We are off to eat, sleep and maybe sit sill for 5 seconds.

Michele, Nick, Fiona and emma

It just got REAAAAAAAAL! Eek!!!

A little bit of wondering around godzone land.....

When you are and have a weekend to play with..
1) bike the 84km timber trail with full pack on (6hours)
2) after bike, hike 10km into your campsite straight into a thunder storm. (2.5 hours)
3) sleep on concrete and melt in tent for 8 hours
4) get up st 0’dark hundred and walk Tongariro crossing, full pack on (19km)
5) then just to put the nail on the coffin drive straight to the start of the T42 traverse (actually 48km) and ride bike through the most ferocious thunder storm and slip and slide your way to the finish!

All that in some of theeeeeee most hot, humid, thunderous conditions ever!

Massive thanks to Cath Atkins our amazing support person and of course pics peanut butter for fuelling our adventures!

...if godzone did weekends....😜

training means adding more weight.... weight plates, dumbbells and buckets of water seem to be our go to!
This also means we get hungrier and eat more Team Pic's peanut butter as the more we weigh the more we burn calories! Eek!!!!
