Just like that, we are done!
12 April 2021
Well what can we say other than what an amazing 10 days we have had and yesterday just topped it off. It was pouring with rain when we left Chch so back packs were filled with warm clothes and rain coats. By the time we got to Hanmer Springs the rain had stopped and blue sky was poking through. Thermals and jackets were being ditched in the cars left right and centre. Up and down we go for the last time. Gail and Delia came along to support which turned out to be very handy when one of the dogs got a bee sting in her ear. Nothing like having your vet on hand to tell you what to do. Thank you for joining us ladies.
So here we are at the end. What was an idea, turned into reality and now it is finished. We have had a great time, there has been sore legs, crazy weather, tired bodies but also tons of laughs and lots of fun. The local pubs have been well supported after each peak. Seems this hiking business makes you very thirsty and hungry.
There are so many thank you's this will start to sound like an Oscar winning speech. Thank you Paul for coming up with the idea in the 1st instance, thank you all the businesses that supported us and looked after us and our dogs, thank you to the team for accepting the challenge and feeling the burn each peak, but most of all THANK YOU to all the very generous people that have donated to our fundraising cause. We are so very very grateful as is the Waimak Dog Training Club and I am very pleased to say the contract for the shed was signed with Total Span yesterday. The entire club has done so much fundraising over the past 6/7 years to get to this point and now it is actually going to happen. Yaahooooo!!! GO WAIMAK!!!
The givealittle page will stay open for another week so there is still plenty of time to donate if you would like to.
10 down - none to go 😁😁
