This might be of interest,a long distance trail in New Zealand.  Te araora trail runs the full length of New Zealand both islands. Jez Bragg ran the whole trail recently in 53 days!! Its over 3000km long!!

@ Wolf_Larsen, we talking HGV1?

Thanks for the info MG1, wife starting to think I'm nuts, but hopefully if I can get these done in the next 20 years if I live that long I'd fell I actually achieved something.

These are the biggies, but there is tons of other walks I want to do in the build up.

Now for the lottery or my HGV1 

[Wolf_Larson]

Hound, just a normal license as I lost it being silly 

Means I can start checking out the coast of Ireland 

[Kayakgirl]

My bro has just emigrated to NZ, could maybe do some of that trail when I'm out there next year..

Fair Play to you Hound of Ulster! ... Go for it!

My bucket list is still being prepared... I'm still trying to track down the Olsen twins and saving to buy a camcorder

It's called humour you muppet... And they're 26 years old!

[spin]

"you muppet" too funny.
glad that you googled their age.
stilll creepy ....  IN MY OPINION ....

[Rusty Madra]

And in my opinion your inability to appreciate humour makes you a muppet. By calling me creepy in my opinion, that makes you a pretentious twerp. In my opinion it's also advisable to mind who you call names.

[spin]

easy does it. Calling someone Ceepy isn't OK and calling someone a muppet is??

it's all about who has the last word now isn't it? 

and a little off topic from the original "bucket list" I'm sure you'll concur. I was going to talk about, and in no particular order, the AT, Trans Mongolian Railway, visiting all the World Heritage sites, Malin to Mizen ...

I for one find all forms of humour appalling

[Wolf_Larson]

World Cup in Brazil 2014 if I had the money

I came across this website by Keith Foskett, who is an English long distance backpacker and writer.  His website has great blog entries of his hikes on The Appalachian Trail, Pacific Trail and El Camino del Santiago.  It's a great website, I'd be tempted to buy his books.
