Widespread Portfolios Limited (stockmarket code WID) invests primarily in overseas-based mining and mineral exploration companies. Most investments are held for the longer term although part of the portfolio (usually about 10%) is committed to shorter term share-trading activity.

Our investment strategy is aggressive and inherently risky – a large proportion of the portfolio is invested in high-growth-potential, second line stocks and a narrow range of stocks is held at any one time.

Small group biking holidays in Africa, New Zealand, Chile & China.

Escape Adventures are a small New Zealand based company. They are passionate about biking and driven by the reward that comes from leading the sort of cycling adventure that will touch your soul and you’ll remember forever.

John and Mandy have researched biking routes and nurtured relationships so you can truly immerse yourself in your mountain biking or cycling trip and make your own unique personal encounter.

Their biking routes are made up of a range of dirt, 4 wheel drive and paved roads suitable for anyone with a good fitness level. The biking trips are guided and catered by them and fully vehicle supported so you can experience the best of the landscape, people, culture and wildlife with the comfort and security of a vehicle to carry your gear, or you if you need a break from cycling.

A maximum of 10 bikers (plus Escape crew) ensures that your biking adventure is a personal one and they minimise their impact on the environments and communities they visit.

Small groups also mean that Escape Adventures can offer the best of themselves, always provide fresh and healthy meals, and keep their equipment in top condition.

Their new website can be viewed at www.escapeadventures.co.nz. Check it out.

Even if you don’t sign up for one of their fantastic adventures, be sure to check out their great photos in their photo library.
