Big day under the big Central Otago sun. Morning mist kept things cool for the earlier starters but it burned off late morning over Rough Ridge and The Rock and Pillar Range. Simply vast views and vast distance to cover. A challenge when you can see 40km across the valley to the road you will be climbing later in the day ;-)
Bit quiet on the Txt front, felling a bit forgotten as several have passed through checkpoints without checking in. Looks like it is serious time with head down and kms to grind out. Hope they are still enjoying the scenery.
