Hi All. Yes Greg will get there tomorrow. I am about 30km short. Tonight Friday I am staying on Jeff and Glenda’s farm. Nice people they took me inside for a bed for the night, fed me a delicious dinner when I stopped by just before a rain shower to ask if I could sleep in their barn.
Also on Wednesday I stopped in the Chequered Flag Cafe Bar in Rangitata just for a snack. The Dutch and English owners Cor and Linda offered me a bed for the night. Many thanks to all and also thanks to all those helping move my pack along the road.. Friday 43km, Thursday 53km Total 26,566km for 629 road days. Also many thanks to Alan Knox’s cousin Brian for his invite in Wyndham, Paul and Grace for offer in Inverscargill. Roughly 370km left to run on the South Island, I expect to have NZ run by the 23/24th Feb without a rest day!Tomorrow Sat will be a new record 30 days straight on the run, I’m loving it like…. a huge whopper

Hey Tony—-you are nearing Oamaru the place that I tried to get Liz to move to—-great little town, and some terrific seaside landscape—-obviously my endeavors didn’t work or I would be hosting you for at least a couple of evenings—oh well—-sounds like NZ is going very smoothly–glad to hear that—
hope all else is well—–good running—Greg

Glad to hear you crossed the bridge safely and you did deserve the double (ice-cream) after that scary experience. Continue to enjoy and share your tales with us. “Good on ya matey”!!!
