For those new Zoners I hope I haven’t caused you to fear the TimeZoneSun experience. Do not be afraid it means you no harm.

Last year we were flown up to lofty glaciers, where we toasted our success with champagne. We ambled through the beautiful Mount Cook mountain ranges and climbed the awe inspiring Fox Glacier (it forms part of the South Westland World Heritage Area did you know).

We also frighted townsfolk, tourists and sheep alike as we formed mobs and proceeded to attempt sheep riding and unconventional poses with South Island landmarks (there’s a photo out there somewhere that I’m praying has been destroyed).

The range of activities we take part in range from spectacularly memorable to something similar to those dreams you have where you go to work in your underwear.

Unfortunately this year a couple of our team members will not be able to attend the whole North Island experience. Mark is expecting his first child but will relinquish his responsibilities as a new father to join us half way through….that’s how great TimeZoneSun is, the magnificence of creation and a father’s natural instincts to protect his family just doesn’t measure up. 

Adam from Myth Busters is another good contender for surviving the TimeZoneSun challenge as the following clip shows (this is a clip that I thought was a fitting reference to the antics we get up to).

And this is how the professionals would do it. Nobody could possibly be this co-ordinated on TimeZoneSun but it gives us something to aspire to.
