Olly Dow is an avid tramper who had an idea to cross the North Island from Cape to Cape. He met mountain bikers Will and Thomas and the teens started planning and training for this epic journey which began as a line drawn across a map. They share about the preparation, the most difficult days of the journey and the moments they loved the most - like walking the Tongariro Crossing with 20 mates. Their 900km expedition took them through the Waikaremoana and Whirinaki forests on foot, down the Whanganui River in canoes and included sections of biking. Completing this journey in 18 days makes this the fastest known time to do this crossing. The boys have raised funds for Child Cancer NZ, so support their kaupapa at the link below.
