  2. Awesome Andrew - moving it a bit further away from winter is a smart move too. There was snow almost down to the road near Clinton and minus 4 degrees just north of Amberley when I did it in 2005 - pretty unpleasant.

    All the very best mate. Presume it's a Cape Egmont lighthouse start this year?

  3. Yeah - I was there man! I remember being stuck in traffic just South of Dunedin when the snow dumped (didn't actually snow on us) and then riding through the mess. It was also damn chilly leaving Kaikoura at about 6am to meet the ferry.

    BTW: Mark & I had breakfast with ya in Picton before the Ferry. Well kinda - you were finishing as we pulled in.

    Bluff-Egmont-East Cape-Cape Reinga this time around.
