Last year we (Tank, Westy, Ang, Scotty, Wilgs) had a wild and wonderful travel adventure on the island of Tanna, a short plane ride south of our Round Island Relay action on Efate. Having said that, Tanna and Efate are worlds apart.
Culturally they are very different, climatically too, but most notably Tanna has something wild and undiscovered about it. And with this in mind we intend to return in July 2007.
Just like 2006, this trip will be uncomfortable, uncertain, unexpected, and unbelievably good fun. You can probably count some of this stuff in with a degree of certainty, but the rest I'm unsure about.
- Traverse a Pacific island across its mountain range
- Camp on an active volcano, eruptions permitting
- Trek some wild and steep terrain
- Bathe in hot springs pouring into the ocean
- Meet some amazing tribal people
- Beautiful river crossings
- Camp on secluded beaches
- Have the roughest 4WD ride of your life
We'll catch up with a very nice bloke named Jupita, play frisbee with local kids and I reckon:
- Summit Mt Tukosmera, the highest mountain on Tanna
- Find the 'hidden' waterfall
- And have a pretty decent snorkel or two
A very comfortable stay at Le Lagon Resort either side of wild Tanna should make for a pretty decent travel experience.
And here is the clincher. If you want to make this trip happen please let me know ASAP. The planning and preparation take plenty of time and the logistics are slightly more demanding than checking into a hotel.
A small group only for this one.
