Participants - Scot, Nick, Eddie, Simon, Cory
Support Crew - Ron, Carmel, Eliza, Margaret, Bruce and Gerald.
Another long, long day. We got out a bit earlier today at 7.45am hoping to finish earlier (so much for that, as the last boats came in at 7.44pm about 45 mins after the TK2).
Access was much more difficult for the support crew today who only caught us at one spot for the day at about 11.30am. Luckily they'd predicted future trouble and loaded us up for the next 8 hours. Lucky for them we also also spotted that one of the bikes had come loose on the trailer and had fallen out within it from all the bumps and jolts of the dirt ride.
There was some interesting scenery today due to the remoteness of our course. We came across a couple who hadn't heard us coming and were enjoying the great outdoors in all their naked glory. They got the fright of their lives to hear a group of male voices coming around the bend and quickly retreated to their tent.
The total kayak part of the trip is 404km and in 2 days we've clocked up almost 200km so we are almost halfway. Looking forward to some shorter distances which hopefully means sore bums and a few less hours in the coming days.

I want to know about the injuries so far.
ReplyDeleteSure doesn't look like a fashion competition judging by the pics.
What is Ron listening to on the car stereo?
