Sorry about this!! -

I know that it is coming onto winter in the UK and I can see how some would consider posting this pic at this time to be a bit cruel -- but some also have asked for pics of my run/walk/crawl up Mt Manganui in NZ last week.

The pic above was taken half way up and this one goo.gl/GlBM07 was taken on the top. ( for anyone who likes to run on a nice hard sandy beach, this one goes for about 25klm one way!) -- and , of course, the final destination at the bottom of the volcanic plug - my favourite Mt Manganui brewbar goo.gl/maps/pxSgl

Very cruel! It looks beautiful especially compared with what's on view outside my window this morning. Congratulations on the run walk crawl, it looks very steep

Bazza, this looks idillic. Just what I needed to see before heading off to work on a damp Tuesday morning

You must have felt on top of the world! Hope you enjoyed that well deserved beer (or six!)

Well done for making the climb and that beach looks wonderful! x

Maybe we could have one of those helmets with virtual overlay so our brown countryside would appear green and lush and summery. Wish I hadn't looked Bazza, that looks beautiful!

Yes, that is cruel going out for a run in a few minutes and there are 4˚C out there today (but at least the sun is shining!)

Just you wait. There'll be days when it's bright blue skies & hot sun here in the UK while you are having grey drizzle in NZ. Errm, actually, no there probably won't be Looks lovely & sounds like a great run.
