Cape2Cape Challenge

To carry on the momentum of ManOnFire after the Badwater run, in early 2011 Dave is running 743 km's across the North Island of New Zealand from New Plymouth to East Cape.
 
 
If you would like to help Dave on the Cape2Cape run he's looking for sponsors for a campervan for 11 days, some help with petrol costs and help with food costs. All donations to ManOnFire go to the National Burn Centre so as with Badwater all costs incurred in the event need to be covered by our generous partners or are covered by Dave himself.
 
Stay tuned to this site for updates on Cape2Cape.
 
Please vote for Dave's Cape2Cape at Steinlager Pure Futures.

Day 4, Taumarunui to Turangi

by Dave Walker | Jan 09, 2011
Well, a pretty good day today, we made an early start to it and got onto the road to Turangi early as I was pretty keen to at least get an afternoon in Turangi if at all possible. First 40km excellent, really found my legs, ( was a little worried from the long day yesterday that I wouldn't) Started to slow up a little and by the time we got to Kuratau Junction was begining to feel that tiredness in the legs that creeps in after 40-50km's.

Walked/jogged into Turangi down those great big hills that give you an awesome view of the lake and then found that we had been give some accomodation again at The Bridge Fishing Lodge, thanks Kent!!

Have downed a huge pastabake that Lisa prepared for all of us and now head for bed, a 4am start tomorrow to get out of the way of all the home coming traffic around Turangi.


See you all soon, thanks for all the support,

Dave
