Dunc Wilson is the first person to have cycled the entire coastline of New Zealand. He set off from Mission Bay in an Auckland summer and circumnavigated the North Island, South Island and Stewart Island over the next 8 months. Over his 10,940 km expedition, Dunc's rule was to stay as close to the coast as possible. He shares his love for the simplicity of life - just getting from A to B each day. After writing a book, The Big Loop, about his bicycle circumnavigation, Dunc is now onto his next big expedition, Waka Waewae, traversing Aotearoa in a packraft and breaking it up into a series of shorter trips. With the North Island traverse completed, he will soon set out to do the South. Dunc acknowledges that with any adventure, "things will go wrong," and his advice is to "carry zip-ties, don't panic and make sure you have water!"
