guys that looks awesome!

what were the 2 coast towns called? and how far was it each day, 56km both days?

i have to venture north next year at some point, it's starting to feel like it should be some kind of a right of passage!

64k a day on those hills looks like quite an epic

The pics and story so far is brilliant

How did you all find the going?.was it difficult or after the initial climb did it level out any.
Looks a real epic journey worthy of Jason
