Despite the warnings, these fearless, intrepid explorers travel towards the unknown and impending possible doom. We laugh in the face of danger as we head towards the Maori playground of old.

Following the highs of adrenaline, a reunion takes place.

This double banger of an episode is going the be the last one for a while, for reasons I'll explain in the episode. Consider this an end of season one, but I WILL BE BACK, I promise! I've got to come back, we're only a third of the way through the trip and there's so much more to come with plenty of weirdness, music and photography to come.

I have joined Annabel and James as we head off, travelling south away from Franz Joseph. It's a long day of travelling (which is a now a mystery of why that was), with great roads, great sights and great tunes although that's a matter of opinion it would seem.

We weren't sure where we would end up for the evening.

In this episode I venture to the small village of Franz Joseph, to take on the physical challenge of scaling a massive glacier.

However, I did overestimate how much water I'd need, and how much breakfast I could eat beforehand. I also made a wonderful discovery about waterproof clothing, experienced a biblical weather event that caused a potential disaster!

I also made new friends and had a mostly pleasant evening.

It's a double banger! I set off but it's not long before I listen to my gut instinct which pays off. I make friends with a modern-day nomad.

Then I set off and find an incredible spot to stop and think too much.

But the real question is…. do I survive?!??!?!??!

I traverse a challenging route across the Southern Alps, dicing with death because of idiot driving and dicey brakes (not recommended). I quickly leave a place after my gut instinct tells me something's not right, and I stay in a place that in my opinion was not named accurately.

But do I survive?!??!?!??!

It's a Double Banger episode with two days in one. In this episode, I meet a kindred spirit, who also loves the rush of adrenaline; I get close to nature, and I embark on an epic feat of endurance….like an idiot!

Yeah okay, it's a terrible pun. I know.

I'm in Kaikoura, New Zealand, and I go in search of a mystical beast known as a whale.

But will I survive this close encounter with such a beast?

I cross the Cook Straight to the south island of New Zealand. It's a different landscape as I make my way to Kaikoura. You'll hear about how I got inspired to become a singer songwriter and hear a track from that very same gig and artist that inspired me.

I arrive in Wellington on a beautiful day. I miss home slightly, I almost get stuck in the bus, I meet the lovely Mary, and play my first gig in New Zealand. How will the first gig go? Will it go well? Or will it erupt in a frenzy as the acoustic sounds fire up the crowd?

I wake up to discover Reeds Field, then start to head South in the van. I meet some fishermen and have to find somewhere to stay for the night in the bus. My paranoia still get's the best of me.
