Experiencing Wellington on quad bike
Writing poetry is one thing, publishing it for the world to see and comment on is completely another. Daunting is a word that springs to mind, so does overwhelming and intimidating. But when I read the prize that the initiator of the challenge, Jim (author of Holes in my Soles blog) put forward I knew I just had to give it a go. The prize? A round the world trip, hitchhiking at my own expense! Just got to win this one!!
A quad bike adventure
In single file we drove
Along an old dirt track
Exhilarated and excited
Deeper into the wild
Accelerating up steep paths
Further from the known
Invigorated by the wind
Enlivened by the views
Snow capped mountains
Wellington harbour
Seashore and mountain streams
Bumbling lambs at play
This is New Zealand at its best
If you are in Wellington and want to have a fantastic but really difference experience then have a look at these guy’s website. No problem if you are visiting without transport – they will even pick you up. Already planning our next trip which will be an overnighter!
Clapping here! You are a shoe-in for that amazing prize
Thank you Nancie – may be we can share the prize and do the trip together?
Yep, sums up wild wonderful Wellington, adventure at its best!
How about holes in my soles, you cheeky girl? My socks do not have holes!
He he Jim – I apologise and I have corrected it. How it got from soles to socks I don’t know. The worst is I did a copy and paste of your url and took the name from there. Must have been a ghost messing with my computer while I wasn’t looking.
I’m nervous now! How am I going to beat that? Well done!:)
Go on Jorie – this is a serious prize at stake, you can do it! (And thanks for the compliments.)
