Peak#20

Mauri ora,

Located in Dunedin, Peak #20 was a ‘stiff little walk’,

But with the inspirer of the challenge himself (Joel Davies),

We managed to keep up the talk!

Given my days of living in Dunedin were largely spent riding a bike,

It was with great pleasure to be led up Mt Kettle on this unbeknown little hike.

This was a particularly special peak because it looked out to my favourite cycling routes,

The Otago Peninsula High Road and Karitane loop are two of the best places in the world to road bike-

Many locals would support this notion- I have no doubts!

I would like to thank the kind individual who it seemed marked out the route with the shirt off his back,

This kept our conversation filled climb to the summit on the right track.

Twas fine company with Kat and Joel and Ingrid, energetic pup Charlie and Scott,

It’s a shame we didn’t take up a cooker and our own kettle to enjoy a cuppa at the top.

Til next week,
