The Boy’s friend, Steve, set up a facebook group to ‘stop this cycle of internet addiction’ and get people out in the world doing things. In this case, it was an Orienteering mission. Post three photos of yourself doing very specific things.


The April Challenge was thus:


1. Get on up!

(Go to a really high up place and take a photo)




Summit of One Tree Hill, 183 metres above sea level, one of the largest volcanoes in the Auckland Volcanic Field, and a prominent Auckland landmark. Win!


2. The Weirdo in the Warehouse

Go to your local warehouse / DEKA / walmart or the local equivalent and find two items that if purchased together would make the checkout operator think that you’re a total lunatic.



Insect Soil Killer and a salt shaker? A spade and large carpet? Win!


3. Feed some fowls / dine with ducks / break bread with birds

Go to the park and feed some ducks or any other flavour of feathered flocker




Those geese were MOST ferocious! Still, they ate our bread. Win!


Doing this was a pretty fun way to pass a couple of hours, and a good way to encourage people to get out of their houses and DO things. If your keen to join in next month – join the facebook group! :)

    @Desiree – Thanks! It was SUPER windy up there :) Loads of fun to do, though. I had a great day!

    @Tabitha – Cheers :) The Weirdo in the Warehouse challenge was pretty fun to do, some of the other photos cracked me up! Things like a waterpistol and methylated spirits, a Mr Potatohead and vasaline :) It was pretty awesome!
