Doug shares his favourite Auckland Deaf Society picnic locations, Wenderholm Park and Long Bay. The club used them on alternate years and both had big grassy spaces, plenty of shade and easy access to swimming. Doug also talks about how he won the Oliver Trophy for Step Distance with a clever strategy. Later, he shared his secret with his wife, who went on to win the trophy two years later. Doug came in a close second and took the loss happily.
