Bluff and Blister(s)

This is an 'unofficial' Update that does not constitute a blog!!

I have it on good authority (her majesty) that Rach has now reached the south coast - at Riverton....AND has actually sighted Bluff!!!!  OK, given her 'visual acuity', I tend to suspect an actual 'sighting' may possibly be either wishful thinking or possibly fatigue-induced hallucination. But whatever...she's close!

It leaves a mere 67km (42 miles for those in the old world), or so to go.
Or rather NOT to go. Yes, ..... < deep breath> TO FINISH!!!

This means only 2 days (plus quite possibly 'a bit') until her epic 3,000+km adventure reaches its culmination, its climax, its zenith!!!  

Please show your support and appreciation of Rach's amazing achievement - however you feel able. Her driving motivation has been to raise awareness of MS, assist research into the cause, prevention, treatment, and cure of this disease and to support the MS community within NZ.

If you can possibly spare it (and aren't among the generous supporters who have already contributed, in SO many ways), you can also show appreciation for her efforts by contributing through the MS-TrampNZ Givealittle site, to the  Multiple Sclerosis Society of NZ and 
New Zealand Multiple Sclerosis Research Trust.

​Thanks!

    Te Araroa 
    is New Zealand's trail. The 3000km route stretches from Cape Reinga in the North of New Zealand to Bluff in the South and was officially opened in December 2011.

    I am tramping the trail, North-South, starting in November 2015 and finishing in March/April 2016. I hope to raise awareness of the great work done by the Multiple Sclerosis Society and also to raise some funds for them.

    I will be carrying my own tent and supplies but I would very much appreciate any help that people could give me e.g.:
    • Food drops
    • Join me on sections on the tramp
    • Donate any food or equipment before I leave
    On the left you will find blog posts describing the trails, tribulations and triumphs along my journey.

    I'm currently en-route from Cape Reinga, the northern end of my (walking) journey. The end will be 3,000 km (1,860 miles) to the south.
