Hi Carla, yeah I'm about the same distance the other side of Canterbury so it's ideal I reckon. How experienced are you ? I'm still waiting for my shoes to turn up and do my first three minutes ! I used to be very fit so I'm hoping that I'll get back into condition in a couple of months, just hope you're patient. I think you can email me from in here into my private address... not sure. Give it a go and we'll get chatting.
