Thoughts and travels of Patrick Lam

Trip report: Mount Korab, August 20

3 Oct 2026

Extended version of Korab TR. One more highpoint for my quite small list, but it counts for both North Macedonia and Albania.

August: on vacation in Greece and North Macedonia, a bit of SCAM, and other service.

28 Sep 2026

On vacation for half the month, service otherwise.

Trip report: Greece, North Macedonia, and British Columbia

27 Sep 2026

Sydney and Sidney. This year, MP came along on the trip to Olympus, and then we visited another Balkan country: North Macedonia. Plus, British Columbia on the way back.

August: photos post

7 Sep 2026

NZ: Catlins (2024) and Kaikōura (2026); another TMB day; field hockey in Vancouver; skiing in Québec; and fresh pictures from Olympus.

July: all SCAM all the time, plus some domestic NZ travel

24 Aug 2026

Being Program Chair of a conference is a lot of work. Also, trips to Kaikōura and Auckland.

July: photos post

4 Aug 2026

Some weekend trips in July, and processing the ensuing pictures, as well as others from the backlog.

Thoughts about lift-served skiing

3 Aug 2026

I used to ski a lot, but not anymore. (Hard to go skiing from Waterloo, for instance). What do I think about it now?

June: another super normal month, actually with 0 travel.

15 Jul 2026

Unusually, I didn’t leave town all month! Furthest I got was the Kapiti Coast.

Submission on the NZ Conservation Amendment Bill

6 Jul 2026

This time, I oppose the Conservation Amendment Bill.

June: photos post

1 Jul 2026

No travels but fewer pictures processed than May, maybe due to reading more books.
