Description

On May 31st 2014 I completed a solo loop around Rapa Nui (or Easter Island): 65.05 kms, 9hrs 5mins. And I think it stands as 'unsupported' - unless you count the little black dog who accompanied me for about 20miles - and the 2 glasses of rainwater I gratefully accepted along the way!!
