BEHIND THE COVER It was day three of a stellar week-long trip to Sinbad Wall in a remote part of western Fiordland. We had found a perch in a comfortable nook on the edge of one of the three Llawrenny Peaks, and settled in for lunch. We were roughly halfway to tomorrow’s objective - Terror Peak. The morning was spent lugging heavy packs up steepening grassy, then granite, slopes. For more on Sinbad and Terror Peak, see page 14 From the left, Ben Grindle is stoked to have made it across Milford Sound without a life jacket, Camille Berthoux tries to smile through a cold she’s been fighting for days, Jimmy Finlayson looks energetic though would soon lie down for a siesta, Derek Cheng has clearly rushed into the shot after setting up the timer on the camera, and Sooji Clarkson shows off her alpine nutrition - peanut butter and dried mashed potato - while the middle Llawrenny Peak glistens behind us.

Adventure Magazine Whereever we go, our preferred car hire is... A NEW LOOK? This is the 40th year anniversary for Adventure Magazine and it has gone through a lot of changes. A variety of different content focus, a reflection of what was acceptable and now what’s not. It has had a range of banner heads (the design of the title on the cover). You will have seen this issue has a new banner head. Well not really, we thought it would be good to be a little retro and bring back one of the older banner heads. This one is from the 90’s a combination of simplicity and subtleness. Looking back over the last 40 years there are some amazing changes, some issues carried adverts for cigarettes, fluffy leg warmers and orange coloured zinc. The first few issues in the 80’s were widely focused on a range of sport from swimming to sailing. As the years progressed and the cigarette ads became less, Adventure went through a series of different vibes, it became very ‘multisport’ focused for a while, then a lot of biking, before it went back to a more generic feel. Pacific Media has produced Adventure for the last twenty years (we actually took the reins with issue 100) and we have loved every moment. The adventure industry is great to work with everyone from those doing different activities to those who import the products, everyone is passionate and enthusiastic and of late incredibly supportive. Covid has put a lot of strain on the adventure community but the majority of those involved do it for the love, not the money and it makes you proud to be able to showcase New Zealand, the places, and the people. We have no idea what the next 40 years looks like, you can only guarantee it will change but Adventure Magazine and the people within its pages will still be there doing fun stuff.
