to Te Araroa – New Zealand’s Long Pathway
On the 29th, in small hail, chilling winds, and 17 people offering me
a lift to the Bluff, I walked the last 30 kms to the bluff, with
onsetting hypothermia I finished my odyssey, The Te Araroa trail,
having set out on the 7th December 2011 traversing New Zealand from
the Northern most point to the Southern most point of mainland New
Zealand.

What a crazy chapter in my life and five months that cannot be
forgotten.

Hi Paul, we met you at some point - I think it was in the Sumner area somewhere.  We were doing the South Island south to north.  Heart-felt congratulations on completing your odyssey.  It is no mean feat.

Congratulations Paul, fantastic you survived the threat of
hypothermia!! You might not believe this at the moment, but you will
miss being on the trail.
