Highlight:

  • Easy snow walking!
  • Hut hopping. We had a series of huts spaced ~5km apart.
  • Bealey Hut. My go to spot when traveling through Arthur's Pass.

Challenge:

Getting my cold feet back in shoes after we stopped for lunch.

My feet don't fit any more.

Learning:

Today's podcast on play featured Lucy Clark.
Last year she gained the female record of 66 days (supported) to run Te Araroa.

Kiwi, Brooke Thomas is approaching Bluff and a new record as I type (57 days).
