Situated in the backcountry behind the ski town of Methven, and an easy two-hour drive from Christchurch, sits the Hakatere Conservation Park: 60,000 vast hectares of rugged mountain wilderness, beech forest and crystal-clear rivers and lakes.

Ross Mackay and I intended leaving Wanaka on Friday for three days and nights of self-supported bikepacking — mainly offroad over the Crown Range to Queenstown, then across Lake Wakatipu, around the Mavora Lakes, then up and across the Nevis Pass — travelling some 400km over three alpine passes.

Commencing a cycling adventure, sitting in a comfortable train carriage, I have a commendable role model. In March 1878 American author Mark Twain planned walking tour of Europe.
