Kia Ora, Hei, Ciao, Pozdravljeni, \u3053\u3093\u306b\u3061\u306f, Hola, \u041f\u0440\u0438\u0432\u0435\u0442, Bonjour, Hallo,  Cze\u015b\u0107, Hello.<\/p>\n

Life is an adventure and limits to what we can do exist only in our minds.<\/em><\/p>\n

April 2020<\/span><\/p>\n

This webpage was created early 2008 as I embarked on some new challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those challenges were to compete in a race in the Arctic and then complete an expedition to the Geographic South Pole. After those little adventures it seemed totally sensible to take a look at the Geographic North Pole.<\/span><\/p>\n

These adventures were hugely rewarding and made 2008 and 2009 an exciting period.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is now 2020 and I have just posted an update covering a few adventures over the last few years. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you would like to follow my adventures click on the Diary<\/strong> button above or Recent<\/strong> Posts<\/strong> on the right to view my most recent diary entries. Select from Archives <\/strong>to view older entries. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Click on Gallery<\/strong> above for some more photos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: I no longer add photographs to the Gallery. I now provide links to Dropbox folders<\/strong> containing photographs at the end of each post.<\/p>\n

As part of my North and South Pole Challenge\u2019s I was keen to raise funds for the following two organizations;<\/span><\/p>\n

The Himalayan Trust (Established by Sir Edmund Hillary)<\/span><\/p>\n

The Salvation Army New Zealand, Fiji & Tonga Territory<\/span><\/p>\n

I would like to continue to promote these two very worthy causes.  Please click on Charities<\/strong> above to see how easy it is to make a direct donation.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can be contacted by email  rossnz19@gmail.com<\/em>  with any queries relating to this webpage.<\/p>\n
