Flagpole walk

Last Saturday Clare and I did this with our good friends Gaz and Ruth.

If you click on the link you can look and see if you can spot us but if not here's a few pictures.


Nice and fresh at the start



On top of the world



Gaz sprinting past us




We had to cross the river Selwyn 12 times, so it's just wade in and go for it




Thankfully it was a warm day so nott so cold once you came out of the water. You soon got used to the squelching in your boots



Nearly there






Made it but very tired. 20.3 km's and yes we were next to last :-) Even the sign was tired
