Blenheim - All Done

We got into Blenheim just after 9pm last night. All a bit cooked with the wind almost finishing us of downthe Awatere Valley. Gordon Mac had a great day. He had decided to stay in Hanmer while we went up to Acheron to get an early start, and he caught us while we had a wee sleep later in the day. He also did a great job of borrowing some fresh fruit that really helped the last third of the day. Bill and I ground it out all day, neither of us too inspired or feeling that flash but we got there. About 180km onthe last day with a big height loss but we also climbed a couple of thousand metres as seemed to be normal for most days. The beer(s) at the end were very welcome, haven't had one since reefton. Body not too bad this morning but not likely to be going for a ride today. Had a lie in until 7am when first txt woke us up. Just had a relaxing breakfast for the first time since last saturday. Hopefully ferry this afternoon and I can start paying off the brownie point debt tomorrow.
