I’ve been watching the news articles about the tragic helicopter crash on the South island of New Zealand and it’s made me think.

About 10 years ago Sharon and I were lucky enough to visit New Zealand, driving round both north and south island. It is a beautiful country filled with fantastic scenery and immensely friendly people. While on the south island we took a heli-hike onto the Fox Glacier, hiking round the glacier for a few hours before flying back. It remains one of our best memories of the visit.

Our thoughts and sympathy go out to the bereaved families and the local people surrounding Fox Glacier
