Wellington

"What a buzz!

"Even though I still have two sections to fill in, here I am in Wellington at the end point of the North Island section of Te Araroa. Wicked!

"I have done maybe 1200 kilometres so far...got some hard slog to go!

"I've got two sections to fill in; five to six days in the Tararuas (which will be hard out). I've also got about nine days hiking and three days on the river between Te Kuiti to Whanganui. Some hard out days there, too.

"But what a buzz, what a buzz. Real cool to be here. Yee ha!"
