Some Years ago I raced with some friends in the Southern Traverse. Though I felt that we never quite achieved our goals, I know what I learned from this undertaking has lead to a passion to challenge others. It sparked the passion to start the GO-4-12 (New Zealand Secondary Schools Adventure Racing Championships) and then with some support from like minded people set up an Outdoor Education Trust called the Kiwi Adventure Trust. www.kiwi-adventure.co.nz
