Counting down to leaving Christchurch on October 19th for Auckland and then Cape Reinga on 21st October. Actually getting to the start of the track without a bus trip on 90 mile beach (tempting!) is not easy.
I am looking forward to spending some time with the crew from MS Society Auckland on the walk back down.
I am arranging my food drops on the trail and a very big thank you to Ruth, Dominic and Bob and Vicki for tramping in to leave stashes for me. Hopefully unlike Scott of the Antarctic I won’t be found frozen a few steps from a food drop that I couldn’t find.
I have had some lovely emails from people involved with MS in various ways and some truly splendiferous offers of accommodation and non-dehydrated food. I am picking up a banner from the Christchurch MS society which I will try to photograph in lots of places. Keep an eye out for it on my future blogs.
So please comment on here especially if anyone has any great ideas for tramping breakfasts apart from porridge!
Many many thanks for the donations from far and wide, it totally makes my day to get a message from people who donate as this tramp is all about connections .This week Wendy who was my BFF from age 4-16 sent me a message with her donation. Honestly without getting all Oprah about it I’m constantly gobsmacked by the messages of support and help from people. Thank you doesn’t even begin to cover it.
