Reiziger Guess all the discussion about rain gear paid off big time for the Medford pilgrims. Miss all of you and the adventure and really appreciate being able to see and read the journey! Cheers

Reiziger Perfect update loving the blog
Reiziger The perfect start. Well done team. Thanks for the updates. I feel fortunate to be able to follow you along the way. Go well.
Reiziger Sounds like a splendid day. Love the first photo it captures your excitement. But 800mtr straight up at the start of the trail sounds like Day 1 of the Heaphy Track. Sleep well and I can't wait to see tomorrow's Pilgrim Pic's.
