Japan's 100 Famous Mountains 100 peaks that can be climbed by
anyone willing to make the effort. Some easy, some hard. An average
height of 2,200 meters, with thirteen over 3,000 meters. Who on
earth would try to conquer the whole lot in 100 days? Two crazy
Kiwis, that's who In May 1997, Craig McLachlan and Travis Taiaroa
set out on the ultimate adventure. As Craig said before they
started out, "Over-planning kills adventure ." They didn't
over-plan. This is the story of their 78-day journey to summit all
of the 100 Famous Mountains, and the fascinating adventures they
had along the way. This is one of five books available on Amazon
about McLachlan's various adventures in Japan. He has also walked
the length of Japan (3200kms in 99 days ), hiked the 88 Sacred
Temples of Shikoku Pilgrimage, journeyed around the Saigoku 33
Temples of Kannon Pilgrimage, and trekked from the Sea of Japan to
the Pacific Ocean climbing all Japan's 3,000-meter peaks along the
way. See www.craigmclachlan.com.
Pilgrims, or 'henro' as they are known in Japanese, have been
walking clockwise around Shikoku, Japan's fourth largest island,
for well over one thousand years. They follow in the footsteps of
the great Buddhist saint Kobo-daishi, searching for the ever
elusive enlightenment that he found there. They visit the 88 sacred
temples, and in overcoming the hardships of the journey they become
better for it. Or so the theory goes Nowadays nearly all 'henro'
travel in cars, taxis or buses, and physical hardship doesn't come
into it Craig was a 'walking henro' in the summer of 1995 and this
book contains the tales of his journey. This is one of five books
available on Amazon about McLachlan's various adventures in Japan.
He has also walked the length of Japan (3200kms in 99 days ),
climbed Japan's 100 Famous Mountains in record time (78 days ),
journeyed around the Saigoku 33 Temples of Kannon Pilgrimage, and
trekked from the Sea of Japan to the Pacific Ocean climbing all
Japan's 3,000-meter peaks along the way. See
www.craigmclachlan.com.
Fact: A New Zealander cannot become Head of State for New Zealand,
and an Australian cannot become Head of State for Australia. The
Head of State for both countries is the reigning British monarch.
In this novel, a group of young Kiwis set out on an intriguing
mission to see their country become a republic .... so that a New
Zealander can become Head of State for New Zealand. Our heroes aim
to take things a step further, demanding a new flag and a change of
name for the country - after all, how many people know where old
Zealand is? And historians confirm that no-one knows for certain
who gave New Zealand its name It wasn't Abel Tasman, as most Kiwis
think The Kiwi Republican Front uses headline-grabbing publicity
stunts to convince Kiwis that getting a bold new start in the world
as the Republic of Aotearoa is the way to go. They challenge the
establishment, challenge the monarchists, and keep Kiwis laughing
while bringing important hidden historical facts to light. When the
sitting Prime Minister decides that her best chances at re-election
could well be as the country's first President, suddenly the Kiwi
Republican Front has some heavyweight support. One last publicity
coup may well do it .... For once, it's the Australians trailing
the Kiwi as some trans-Tasman rivalry sees the Aussies race to
become a republic first.
Japan is a fascinating country 125 million people in a country only
slightly larger than New Zealand, and just as mountainous. We've
all seen the TV footage - cramped housing, industrial haze and
crowded trains - but what about 'the real Japan'? Spectacular
mountains, twisting rivers, hidden harbours and rugged coastlines.
This is the story of Craig McLachlan's 99 day walk from one end to
the other in search of 'the real Japan'. 1993 - what a year to do
it The year of the endless rainy season The year without a summer
The year of earhtquakes, tsunami and typhoons - and sore feet This
is one of five books available on Amazon about McLachlan's various
adventures in Japan. He has also climbed Japan's 100 Famous
Mountains in record time (78 days ), hiked the 88 Sacred Temples of
Shikoku Pilgrimage, journeyed around the Saigoku 33 Temples of
Kannon Pilgrimage, and trekked from the Sea of Japan to the Pacific
Ocean climbing all Japan's 3,000-meter peaks along the way. See
