About this title.

From scaling the world's remote mountain peaks to overcoming debilitating illness, Rex Hendry's life has been an adventure. Born and bred in Mangakino, rural New Zealand, a life-long love of the great outdoors and physical activity is at the heart of Acorn to Acorn – Tales of a Reluctant Adventurer. The story traces Hendry's intrepid life – from long distance running to scaling Himalayan mountains, sailing the southern seas to helping troubled youth, stints working in Antarctica to protecting native New Zealand, and, possibly his biggest challenge, battling chronic fatigue. And, in a poignant, personal account, Hendry recalls the tough decision he had to make when he was one of the first on the scene of New Zealand’s largest aircraft disaster, on Mount Erebus.
