    7 months it took.

    The biggest adventure of my life. I’m looking back and even have surprised myself. When I look at other walkers YouTube videos as well as my own photos I can’t believe I was even in some of those places.

    I feel amazed that by putting one foot in front of another I got down the country.

    A huge thanks to Kelly my trail Angel for all her support. Also to all the other trail angels that looked after me along the way.

    To all my walking buddies. Well done on getting out there too.

    To all the people in NZ I met. Thanks for taking time for a chat. Thanks for sharing the history of NZ. We are a great bunch.

    Going very well in South Island. Hot days. Cool nights. Richmond Ranges been the toughest. Waiau Pass beautiful. Wonderful support from Kelly. Lots of fellow Te Araroa walkers catching me. Living life.
