Sir Ed, here in his early 50s, goes on a journey to remote New Zealand. In the far north he visits the Aupōuri people, receives a tokotoko (walking stick) and admires their connection with the land. He goes bush and dives for scallops off Stewart Island and fishes on a Hollyford sandspit. In the Alps he tackles Mount Cook with Harry Ayres, Graeme Dingle and other mates. Not bad for a self-described "middle-aged family man who has tried to keep himself reasonably fit". Sir Ed narrates, and his down-to-earth passion for adventure makes this an inspiring travelogue.
