Just an idyllic little camp site. Shame about the sandflies. Full of admiration for you carrying the torch so to speak for us older people. The aches and pain comes with the age 😂especially when you are walking those distances each day 👍
#AUA Besides the big three what is the one piece of gear you would be happy to take again and the one you wouldn't and what is something you wish you had taken but did not ?
#AUA Do you have an idea of what percentage of people start the thru hike and don't complete it? Any comments on what the main reasons for people quiting is?
Congrats guys, another day down. Yip NZ sandflies are bad. You dont have a bug net? Handy in the SI and dont way much. Looking forward to seeing you under that Bluff sign!
#AUA From what you observed along the way, what were the main reasons for people not being able to complete it?
Such lovely music. very melancholy almost in tears lol
Music is a tricky thing. I really tried hard to match how I felt on the day with music I chose for the videos.

The aches and pains will eventually fade but the memories will stick around longer. Thanks for watching!

#AUA , are there many negative things or improvements that could be addressed along the way.
The times when the views aren't about being out there - but is the time to view oneself. The Sky People!

I do have a bug net and have used it a couple of times. But those tiny guys always seem to find the one piece of exposed skin.
#AUA. What did you use to make your videos, phone or camera?
#AUA. Was that an In-Reach you had on your shoulder? If so, what did you use it for? Daily weather reports, distance tracking? Other?
The end is nigh, how are you feeling about it coming to an end?
Really, really good. Very grateful
