Today I got up early and went for a walk in the Tararuas, I intended on doing the Powell - Jumbo Circuit again. I had a great time but I’m positively buggered and only managed to get to Jumbo Hut and Back again - 50k winds, only one orange left, and not enough warm clothes made sure of it.
So that you can all share in my pain I found a map online (not great quality but will serve the turn) showing the walk. I started at the Holdsworth Lodge and walked to the Jumbo Hut and back - I still not sure how many kilometres that is, if somebody knows please do tell.
Brilliant! The new stuff website gets even better - I just found this story that I wrote in 2006 on Garmin GPS systems. I have since used a Garmin Street Pilot while traveling in Europe… also brilliant!
The restaurant in Kill Bill is based on “Gonpachi” in Nishi-Azabu. Although 99% of the fight scene was filmed on a set apprently one or two scences were really filmed there.
You’ve got to love Tarantino!!!
It is not too far from Roppongi subway station to walk. Take Roppongi-dori street toward Shibuya direction. The restaurant is at the foot of the down slope on your right at the corner of Nishi-Azabu intersection. I’d say it might be a 10 minutes walk or so.
