On day 1, the team were unable to go up Ruapehu so did the run across to the Desert Rd in a time of 2hrs36 mins. On day 2, the 70km mountain ride from the Chateau to Whakahoro on the Wanganui River went without a hitch in a time of 2hrs26mins. In the afternoon, canoeing down the river - difficult as the river is very low. Camped the night along the river and on Wednesday proceeded on to Pipiriki - time on the river 11hrs 41mins.

Thursday was the big ride from Oahakune to Feilding - 170kms. One big crash at 65kms/hr, but all boys were able to complete the run from Feilding to PN on Friday - 24km.

A gruelling challenge and congratulations to all the boys for completing this unique event.
