 Preparations for Halloween include making Creepy Crawlies.

 The urchins put all the decorations up.


 Fake spiders and cochroaches made an appearance this year, and disconcerted several of the urchins.

Book Launch - Second Time Lucky

Come and join us for the launch of Erik's TOUR AOTEAROA book next Monday, at 6pm. It's an incredible tale of two tours, both starting at Cape Reinga, but only ... well we won't give it away just yet.

Suffice to say that this is a beautifully written account of a journey that most people would have abandoned. Erik's honest, and often funny account of starting the Tour with his eccentric boss, meeting new friends along the way, and overcoming disaster is a rollercoaster read. No one else has ever ridden the length of New Zealand the way Erik has!

The book launch will be at the Kennett Brothers HQ at 6pm on Monday 29th October. We are on the 3rd Floor of Economous House, 4 Bond Street, just off Willis Street, Wellington.

There will be brief speeches, drinks and nibbles, followed by Erik signing books. It's an opportunity to meet other Tour Aotearoa riders and share your experiences in the TA gallery.
