Today’s plan was to do nothing and that was what I did. Still woke up early but just chilled on the sofa. Rick slept enough for both of us. It was a beautiful day so I went for a little walk on the beach just to keep the muscles moving. Once back to our awesome […]
Today I set off with 59km to go until I could enjoy a day off. I knew there were hills but nothing was going to upset me. Mum was working up in Kaikoura today and dropped in some food to feed Rick. He can eat that boy. I suppose what else do you do […]
Last night’s room (train) was donated to us by the Sleepers Backpackers in Waipara. A great little set up with lots of info about the local area. Thank you so much. After 61kms yesterday I knew today was going to be a long hard day, not just for me but Rick too. We […]
After an awesome night at the Bush Inn last night we slept super well at mum and Brain’s. Thanks for putting us up. Matt Jackson in the van with Rick and me and my bro Smithzzzzz ready to run with me we were off. Heading out of Christchurch took ages and I think […]
A huge day today, so Jup’s stumbled off to hit the sack for a well deserved sleep. After a great night at the Rakaia River Holiday Park and Motels we got on the road at about 8:30am with the sun shining and the Alps providing some eye c andy to the side. We […]

Last night we stayed at Timaru Top 10 Holiday Park – great night and big thanks to Gor don for his kind donation. Went up to our start point and Erica who I met down on Stewart Isl and came and ran 12km with me – Great to see her again. Today was […]
A day of long of straight roads and beautiful sunshine… Started feeling good and just got better as the day went on. It was a 43km day which ran though the country side and along near the sea. The left quad is still not the best so gotta stretch it out a lot. […]
Last night the Kirks showed us the best place to eat in Oamaru and it was awesome. Fat Sally’s Pub & Restaurant where we meet Sally herself and she was great. Sally donated our dinners to us, Thank you Sally. GO check them out next time you are in Oamaru. Me saying goodbye […]
