We've booked the ferry and making our way to Rakiura tomorrow (4th April 2025) to start at 4pm on the North West Circuit. 

Target is to get back in time for last orders at the South Sea Hotel on Saturday night - that gives us 30 hours!

Steve and Isaac Tripp, Julia Chamberlain, Adam Keen and Chris Taylor - all from Dunedin.
