It's silly season
Christmas has been and gone and as usual I'm late in writing blog posts....but silly season is upon us so here's my December catch up! My friend Dan runs this awesome website called waywiser.co.nz. It's similar to Meet Up, but more specialised for certain activities so I've been getting involved in an attempt to meet new people and have cool adventures. Dan, Sam and I joined a night orienteering trip posted on the site a couple of weeks back which was a lot of fun - a guy called Paul is massively into orienteering and decided to run a free trip for anyone who wanted to learn how to do it. So we set off after work to Duder Regional Park just before the sun set, and he taught us how to read topo maps and use compasses. We navigated to lots of points on the map even after darkness fell, some more prepared than others with head torches until it got late and we needed to head back to Auckland. I enjoyed it so much that I went out and bought a compass the next day :)
