We're hanging up our boots!

We've known for some time now that we would not be able to reach our objective of circumnavigating Wales, however we were still hopeful of being able to complete the Wales Coast Path.

Alas time has run out on us as we have have now started on our pre-booked canal boat trip through the Brecon Beacons. This will be directly followed by the four day Green Man music festival. 

While we still have some time after these two events before we have to fly back to New Zealand, there are some other parts of Wales that we would like to explore before leaving the country. As such, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue our walk around Wales......for now!

We would like to thank you all for your support and words of encouragement during our journey. In particular, special thanks to our managers at the Hurunui District Council and Waikmakariri District Council for granting us extended leave. Also a huge thank you to Nicola for looking after our animals and house while we have been away. Without you guys/gals our adventure would never have got off the ground.  

We have had a wonderful and often challenging time walking the coast and have loved our time in Wales. However, our adventure is not over yet. We will continue to post the remainder of our Wales experiences on this site. So stay tuned for the next part of our journey.....

.....we'll be back!
