    Dear God! did you walk up Mt Tauhara?
    I did that years ago when I lived in Taupo...perhaps 1984?

    Not sure if that was the name of it but it was a fecking huge hill just past the Quarry on Scoria Road there.

    Its about a 400m climb over 1.5km's so.....feck, it was steep. Stinking hot as well but we made it to the top.......we still had about 80km's to go as well.......

    Hmmm.. We lived in Taupo from 1980 - 1990... Looked at Mt Tauhara, never felt the need to climb it...
    You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.

    Memory's a bit vague now, probably knew of him then. 'Twas a long time ago, now! We did get a new Axminster laid in our house in Wairakei... May have been him who did it.

    My wife was one of the group from the Auckland College of Massage who were dishing out freebees at the finish line - trying to get people's legs working again.
    She tells me that the fastest group completed the 100 km in 14.5 hours. I think that's amazing.
    She has inveigled my daughter-in-law and 2 of her nieces to have a crack at it next year (no pun intended).
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.
