Ambler Rambler

Daredevil: Bungee jump off Auckland bridge

■ Forty-20’s intrepid explorer, Halifax’s Luke Ambler, headed to New Zealand during December to attend the wedding of his former housemate Greg ‘Beast’ Eastwood. While in the Land of the Long White Cloud he caught up with some familiar faces, including going fishing with his former coach at Leeds Brian McClennan, and spent some time training with the Warriors and Kiwi legend Ruben Wiki. We present his photo diary of a memorable trip.
