Hey Rion
ReplyDeleteWhat an epic mission! Sounds like a lot of fun, adventurous and what they should be doing with Te Araroa!! Sad that some live in a dumbed-down, don't take any risks, world.
I'll look forward to reading the blog.

Cheers Chris
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in seeing the route you guys tooks several years ago in you competing venture to Te Araroa.
Cheers

Hi Rion
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't supposed to be a competing venture - it was supposed to be supporting - but they ended up having a totally different vision from ours, mostly politically motivated as opposed to a love for the outdoors. How about we catch up some time after you finish your epic - would love to hear some stories and see some pics.
