Great stuff! I've decided, I'm giving up walking and will take up flying instead. I blame you Wayno! See you at the next forum... :wink:
Just move it!

As someone who hates turbulence, I reckon one of the worst flying experiences is coming into Queenstown when the wind is up. Very bouncy. I have seen cabin crew lose it under those circumstances.
This makes me the first man to climb Mount Everest backwards, without oxygen...or even a jumper.

I love the landing in Queenstown. The way you wind round and round the mountains. So beautiful. Agreed with regards to the turbulence though. When mother nature isnt happy its terrifying. Mind you knowing I'm about to step off the plane for an awesome holiday with great skiing makes it worth while :-)
