On Monday YIC ran up The Pinnacles on the Coromandel Peninsula. It is a scenic route close to Thames where he was staying. The initial climb was on the marvellously named Billy Goat Track and was through bush. But the final climb topped out into open countryside with excellent views over the whole peninsula. YIC has now arrived in Auckland where he is spending a few days before flying out to Boston, USA for the next leg of his journey.
