Thank you so much for detailing your days so well. Last season we skipped that whole section from Rocks Hut to Arthur’s Pass due to a combination of bad weather/covid/and a good dose of fear. Watching your videos has made me want to go back and finish it. 🙏 Can’t wait to see you guys enjoy the rest of the journey and celebrate an awesome accomplishment!
@freedom_on_the_trail Gee! I guess you're trying to keep up with the others but you have to look after yourself too! Hope you get some good rest on the rest days!
You are doing amazingly. I think we are about the same age and watching you I realise i could not cope physically but Im loving coming along with you. What a beautiful if not challenging country we live in. God bless
I know you're reading this after the time ... and several days are now between. Your wairua is surely being tested, and your tinana is being challenged compromise. Looking after your body is your main focus. If that's not right - no matter the terrain, of the beauty of the scenery, if you're not in fine condition - it'll knock you. Take care. Noho haumaru 🫂 🙏
Well done on making it across the rivers and boulder fields and for your very insightful analysis of the day!
Much appreciated
Goat Pass is hard work. Always wondered how those Coast to Coast runners run that track in about 2.5 hours
Gave me HUGE respect for them!
Arghh the Deception River boulder grovel! You have my sympathy! I remember it well! It's just really hard on ankles, knees and hips!
And brain and feet and elbows and…😂

Those rivers are so clear! And cold!
Very!

One of my hardest days for sure!
No shortage of drinking water today!
😂😂😂. Believe it or not, I got dehydrated!! Just focussed too much on getting through the section.

Thanks for the encouragement and joining via the videos.
The flood route " Te Araroa Trail " was lots of ups and downs in the bush much like many other parts of the trail ?
Ups and downs! That should be the subtitle of the TA 😂
Hey seriously, for those rivers you need to be linking arms to ensure stable footing. be careful guys
Yeah. We talked about doing it but we’re never in a sketchy enough situation to have to do it.
@@freedom_on_the_trail I see, thought so

😂. Thanks for the scolding. I really am doing my best to keep weight on now.
Sorry ... not intended to be a scolding. Sorry, I'll refrain. Apologies. 🙏
