Is that Tongariro or whatever it's called?

Yep, it's in the Tongariro area - good guesswork, acousticrock87!
Here's another one from the same region:

I haven't been to that area, but I had a who girlfriend climbed the Mt. Doom thing and she showed me all the pictures whilst explaining how it was the most difficult trek of her life. I can't say I was jealous, but I would have loved to stand at the foot of it.

Mount Ngauruhoe (Mt Doom) is a trek I didn't do, but I'm not that your gf said about how knackering it must have been. I will climb Mount Doom one day, though, oh yes!

I hear there's a shortcut on the decent where rocks frequently fall down at lethal rates...
Good luck! |

Ah, I kinda suspected that...what happens if someone does foil you plan one day, though?
Yeah, NZ was fantastic. I want to go back again, and visit the South Island too. I haven't skiied since I was, like, 13, but would certainly give it a go on somewhere like Ruhapehu. I take it you've been on the slopes, then?

there's never been a plan to foil, and i doubt there ever will be, haha
NZ is really beautiful from what i've seen i haven't been skiing since i was about 10 but i remember enjoying it a lot for some reason. i think i'd rather sled.

Sledging's fun - the last time we did that was in Snowdon , Wales in 1997 - it was really fun, especially with some of the "suicide" runs we did, bombing down towards rivers and streams. I came a cropper a couple of times, I tell ya.
I'll stick some more NZ pics in the "Photography" thread soon for ya - have got some good ones to share.

Melly, lovely pics, you always seem so relaxed and in peace with the surroundings .
Makes me want to set sail for some exotic destination. Not that I have a sail to set, but still...

Yeah, do it, please. I'm going to take proper pics next time I'm in Dublin. And not just 200 pics of me collapsing into pints of Guinness, either!
