waikato river trail

Day 79 March 19th 2016

‘Twas a hard day at the office today. Last big training walk before we taper to the big day. Nothing in the tank at all for some reason, so I had to dig deep as we walked from Waotu South down to the river and up and down to Waipapa Dam…and then all the way back again.  30km round-trip. Too tired to take any more than this one photo at our turn around point.

Day 59 February 28th 2016

A big day out – our longest training walk to date with all four of the team.  It was a hot, hot day so just as well we had the benefit of the bush for some shade for some of the time.  The Waikato River trail out from Mangakino 15km and back again – apparently (according to technology)  over 2000m of ascent over 30km and just under 5 hours!

Here is the Pat and the Posties team – and here is the link to our Oxfam page – shameless donation plug!!
