Midway point celebration: time for some delicious midway brownies! Our bellies and souls are happy.  But the next day with quite a distance still left to go, we hit a period of unrest. The weather had turned grey and dreary and for a moment it seemed spirits had dropped and […]

BLOG 07/30: Distance run: 1279nm Current position: Lat- 39 deg 27.73’N / Long- 145 deg 46.72’ W You may be wondering what happened to us but worry not we are still here, steadily making our way towards Victoria. In fact today we crossed the halfway mark and are now closer […]
