Ina haere ngā kaihaerere tuara i roto i ō rātou tau rua tekau ki te Tonga-mā-rāwhiti o Āhia, ka mauria e rātou ō rātou kākahu kaukau, he ārai pepeke, he mōhiti kanohi, me ētahi pukapuka pea hei pupuri i ō rātou wāhi i a rātou e tiaki ana i ngā ngau namu i ngā takutai moana wera o ngā moutere o Tai.
Heoi, ko te ara iti rawa te roa ko te haere pahikara mō te 9,300 maero kia tae atu ki Newcastle.
Engari koinei te mahi a Josh Reid. I herea te wheua paraharaha ki tōna tuara, pērā i te honu, ā, ka rere ki tērā pito o te ao, me te mōhio ka roa ake i te hawhe rā tana haerenga hoki.
"I noho noa ahau i te tēpu o te kīhini, i kōrero ki tōku pāpā me tōku matua tāne, ā, i kitea e au ngā mea rerekē ka taea e au te mahi," te kōrero a Reid ki a Bicycle Weekly mō te wāhi i puta ai te whakaaro. I ngā tau kua pahure ake nei, i mahi a Reid hei kaiako hīkoi hotoke, hei kaiwhakatipu rākau raumati i British Columbia, ā, i whiwhi ia i tētahi visa mahi e rua tau ki Kanata, ā, i mutu tana mahi i Amerika Te Raki, ā, i eke ia i Nova Scotia. Ko te pahikara roa-roa ka haere ki Cape Breton.
>>>I mate ngā kaieke pahikara o te ao whānui i te taha o ō rātou kāinga i a rātou e eke pahikara ana, ā, e ono ngā oranga i whakaorangia mā te koha okana
I ēnei rā, nā te mea ko te nuinga o ngā pahikara he mea hanga ki Āhia, ko te whakaaro kia kawemai koe i ngā pahikara. E whā marama te roa o te haerenga i te tau 2019, ā, i te mea kua uaua rawa te hoko pahikara nā te mate urutā coronavirus i te tau 2020, i kitea he matakite tana tikanga.
I muri i tana taenga ki Singapore i te marama o Mei, ka anga ia ki te raki, ā, i roto i ngā marama e rua noa iho ka tūtaki ia ki tētahi pahikara. I taua wā, ka ngana ia ki te whakamahi i tētahi pahikara Tatimana hei hanga anō i te āhua o Top Gear i runga i te Hai Van Pass i Vietnam.
I te tīmatanga, i hiahia ahau ki te hoko i tētahi pahikara mai i Cambodia. I kitea he uaua ki te tango tika i tētahi pahikara mai i te raina hanga. Nō reira, i haere ia ki Shanghai, ki reira i hangaia ai he pahikara mai i te papa o te wheketere nunui. Tikina he pahikara.
I mea atu a Reid: "E mōhio ana ahau ki ngā whenua ka taea e au te haere." "Kua kite ahau i mua, ā, kua kite ahau ka taea e au te tono visa, ā, ka taea te whakahaere haumaru i ngā mahi tōrangapū whenua i ngā rohe rerekē, engari he iti noa iho ōku parirau, ā, i haere tika atu ētahi raruraru ki Newcastle."
Kāore a Reid e hiahia ki te tāpiri i te nui o ngā maero i ia rā, mena he kai me te wai tāna, ka harikoa ia ki te moe i roto i tētahi pēke iti i te taha o te rori. He mea whakamiharo, e whā noa ngā rā i ua ai ia i te haerenga katoa, ā, i tana hokinga mai ki Ūropi, kua tata mutu te nuinga o te wā.
I te korenga o Garmin, ka whakamahia e ia tētahi taupānga i runga i tana waea hei whakatere ki tōna kāinga. Ina hiahia ia ki te kaukau, ki te whakahou rānei i ana taputapu hiko, ka peke ia ki te rūma hōtēra, ka tiki i ngā toa whenua, i ngā whare mōneka Buddhist, ka eke i tētahi whakakeke nui, ā, ka whakamahi i ngā Arkel Panniers me ngā papa moe a Robens e tika ana mō te hunga e hiahia ana ki ngā taputapu katoa, ahakoa kāore rātou e mōhio me pēhea te whai i te mahi a Reid.
Ko tētahi o ngā wā tino uaua ko te haerenga i te tīmatanga o te haerenga. I haere ia ki te hauauru mā Haina ki ngā kawanatanga o te raki-mā-uru, kāore i te nui ngā tūruhi i reira, ā, i tūpato ia ki ngā tāngata whenua ke, nā te mea e 1 miriona ngā Muhirama Uyghur e puritia ana i te rohe i tēnei wā. Te pokapū pupuri. I te haerenga o Reid mā roto i ngā pū tirotiro i ia 40 kiromita, ka wetewetehia e ia te waka rererangi iti, ka huna ki raro i te peke, ā, ka whakamahia e ia a Google Translate ki te kōrero ki ngā pirihimana hoa, nāna tonu i whakarato kai ki a ia. Ā, i whakaari ia kāore ia i te mārama mēnā he pātai uaua tā rātou i pātai mai.
I Haina, ko te raru nui ko te ture kore o te puni. Me noho ngā tāngata whenua ke ki te hōtēra i ia pō kia taea ai e te kāwanatanga te aroturuki i ā rātou mahi. I tētahi pō, he maha ngā pirihimana i kawe i a ia ki te tina, ā, i mātakitaki ngā tāngata whenua i a ia e kawe ana i ngā mīti ki runga i te Lycra i mua i te tukunga atu i a ia ki te hōtēra.
I tana hiahia ki te utu, tekau ngā pirihimana motuhake Hainamana i mau i ngā whakangungu rakau ātete-matā, i ngā pū me ngā patu, ka pakaru mai, ka pātai i ētahi pātai, kātahi ka peia atu ia me te taraka, ka whiua te pahikara ki muri i a ia, ka peia ia ki tētahi wāhi e mōhio ana te tangata ki reira. I muri tata mai, ka puta he karere i te reo irirangi e kī ana ka taea e ia te noho ki te hōtēra i takiuru ai ia. I mea a Reid: "I mutu taku kaukau i te hōtēra i te 2 karaka i te ata." "E hiahia ana ahau ki te wehe atu i te wāhanga o Haina."
I moe a Reid i te taha o te rori i te Koraha o Gobi, e ngana ana ki te karo i ētahi atu pakanga ki ngā pirihimana. I tōna taenga atu ki te rohe o Kazakhstan, ka pōuri a Reid. He pōtae kaitiaki whānui, he whānui tōna, me te ataata me te rūrū ringa.
I tēnei wā o te haerenga, he nui atu ngā mahi kei mua i a ia, ā, kua tūtaki kē ia ki ngā uauatanga. Kua whakaarohia e ia te pana i a ia me te whakarite i te rerenga hoki e whai ake nei?
I mea atu a Reid: "Tērā pea he nui te kaha ki te haere ki te taunga rererangi, ā, kua oati ahau." Ki te whakaritea ki tētahi wāhi kāore he wāhi hei haere, he uaua ake te moe i runga i te papa o te taunga rererangi i te mahi o te moe i runga i ngā pakihiwi o te hunga kāore he wāhi hei haere. Kāore e hiahiatia te moe tāne i Haina.
"Kua kōrerotia e au ki te tangata taku mahi, ā, kei te harikoa tonu ahau. He mahi mōrearea tonu tēnei. Kāore au i te māharahara. Kāore au i te whakaaro kia mutu."
I a koe e eke ana i te haurua o te ao i roto i te āhuatanga kore āwhina, me rite koe ki te aro atu ki te nuinga o ngā mea me te whai i aua mea. Engari ko tētahi o ngā mea tino miharo a Reid ko te manaakitanga o te iwi.
I mea ia: "He mea whakamiharo te atawhai o ngā tāngata tauhou." Ka karanga noa te tangata i a koe ki roto, inā koa i Āhia Waenganui. Ka haere atu ahau ki te Hauāuru, ka nui haere te whanoke o te tangata. E tino mohio ana ahau he tino hoa te iwi. I homai e te kaihautū he kaukau wera me ētahi atu mea ki ahau, engari ko te iwi o te Hauāuru kei roto i tō rātou ake ao. E manukanuka ana rātou kei meinga te tangata e te waea pūkoro me ngā mea pera kia huware, ko te iwi ia o te Rawhiti. He tino pai ki a Āhia Waenganui, he hiahia te iwi ki tāu mahi. He nui ake tō rātou hiahia ki a koe. Kāore e taea e rātou te kite i te nuinga o ēnei wāhi, ā, kāore e taea e rātou te kite i te maha o ngā tāngata o te Hauāuru. He tino hiahia rātou, ā, ka taea e rātou te haere mai ki te pātai ki a koe, ā, e tino mohio ana ahau, pērā i Tiamana, he mea noa ake ngā haerenga pahikara, ā, kāore te iwi e kōrero nui ki a koe.
I haere tonu a Reid: "Ko te wāhi tino atawhai kua kitea e au kei te rohe o Afghanistan." "He wāhi e pai ana te iwi ki te 'kaua e haere ki reira, he kino rawa', koinei te wāhi tino manaaki kua kitea e au. He Mahometa. I aukatia ahau e te tangata, i kōrero pai ia i te reo Pākehā, ā, i kōrero māua. I pātai atu ahau ki a ia mēnā he puni kei te tāone, nā te mea kua hikoi ahau i roto i ēnei kāinga, ā, kāore he wāhi mārama."
"I mea ia: 'Ki te tono koe ki tētahi o tēnei kāinga, ka meinga koe kia moe i te pō katoa.' Nō reira, ka haria ahau e ia ki ēnei taiohi i te taha o te rori, ka kōrero ki a rātou, ā, ka mea, "Whāia rātou". I a au e whai ana i ēnei tāne i roto i ēnei ara iti, ka haria ahau e rātou ki te whare o tō rātou kuia. Ka whakatakotoria ahau e rātou ki runga i tētahi moenga kāhua Uzbek i runga i te papa, ka whāngaihia ahau ki ā rātou kai reka katoa o te rohe, ā, ka haria ahau ki reira i te ata i haria ahau e rātou ki te toro atu ki tō rātou rohe i mua. Ki te eke koe i tētahi pahi tūruhi mai i tētahi wāhi ki tētahi wāhi, ka wheako koe i ēnei mea, engari mā te pahikara, ka haere koe i ia maero i te ara."
I te wā e eke pahikara ana, ko Tajikistan te wāhi tino uaua, nā te mea ka eke te huarahi ki te teitei o te 4600m, e mōhiotia ana ko te "tuanui o te ao". I kī a Reid: "He tino ataahua, engari he poka kei ngā rori taratara, he nui ake i tētahi atu wāhi i te raki-mā-rāwhiti o Ingarangi."
Ko te whenua whakamutunga i whakarato wāhi noho mō Reid ko Bulgaria, ko Serbia rānei i te taha rawhiti o Ūropi. Whai muri i ngā kiromita maha, he rori tonu ngā rori, ā, kua tīmata te pōuriuri o ngā whenua.
"I te taha o te rori ahau e puni ana i roto i taku kākahu puni, kātahi ka tīmata te kurī kaitiaki ki te tau ki ahau. I haere mai tētahi tangata ki te pātai mai ki ahau, engari kāore māua i te mōhio ki te reo. I tangohia e ia he pene me te pepa, ā, ka tuhi i tētahi tangata rākau. I tohu mai ki ahau, i tuhi i tētahi whare, i tuhi i tētahi motuka, kātahi ka tohu ki tana motuka. I tukuna e ahau te pahikara ki roto i tana motuka, i haria ahau e ia ki tōna whare ki te whāngai i ahau, i kaukau ahau, Ka taea te whakamahi i tētahi moenga. Kātahi i te ata ka haria ahau e ia ki te kai atu. He tohunga toi ia, nō reira i homai e ia tēnei rama hinu ki ahau, engari i tukuna noa ahau e ia. Kāore māua i kōrero i te reo o tētahi ki tētahi. Ae. He maha ngā kōrero rite e pā ana ki te atawhai o te tangata."
I muri i ngā marama e whā o te haereere, ka hoki mai a Reid ki te kāinga i te Whiringa-ā-rangi 2019. Mā te kiriata i tana haerenga ki tana pūkete Instagram ka hiahia koe ki te hoko i tētahi tīkiti haere kotahi ki tētahi wāhi tawhiti tonu, ā, ka hanga i tētahi pakipūmeka YouTube iti te utu e kawe mai ana i te whakakorenga tino pai ki te whakatika nui me te whakatairanga nui o te toenga o te papaaho Agent. He kōrero tā Reid hei kōrero ki āna mokopuna. Kāore he upoko hei tuhi anō māna, ki te taea rānei e ia te mahi anō, he pai ake te haehae i ētahi whārangi.
"Kāore au i te tino mōhio mēnā kei te hiahia au ki te mōhio ki te mea i tupu. He mea pai te kore e mōhio," tana kī. "Ki taku whakaaro koinei te painga o te tuku noa kia rere noa. E kore rawa koe e mōhio. Ahakoa pēhea, e kore rawa koe e taea te whakamahere i tetahi mea."
"Ka hē tonu ētahi mea, ka rerekē rānei ētahi mea. Me manawanui noa koe ki ngā mea ka puta."
Ko te pātai inaianei, ko te eke pahikara i waenganui o te ao, he aha te momo haerenga mōrearea hei whakaara i a ia i te moenga i te ata?
E whakaae ana ia: "He mea whakamīharo te eke pahikara mai i tōku kāinga ki Morocco," e whakaae ana ia, ahakoa ehara i te mea he ataata harikoa noa iho i muri i tana ekenga manawanui.
"I te tīmatanga i whakaaro ahau ki te whai wāhi atu ki te reihi Transcontinental, engari i whakakorehia i te tau kua hipa," te kī a Reid, i tipu ake me te motuka. "Nō reira, ki te haere tonu i tēnei tau, ka mahia e au."
I kī a Reid, mō tana haerenga mai i Haina ki Newcastle, me mahi ia i tētahi mea rerekē. A te wā e whai ake nei ka tākai noa ahau i tētahi kākahu kaukau, ka mau i ngā mea e rua i roto i taku peke tuara, kātahi ka eke katoa ki te kāinga.
Ki te hiahia koe ki te ora me te pouri, he mea pai te kawe i ngā takirua tarau kaukau e rua.
