Day 249 - Sun 06 June 19,805km Kestell, SA

Ascending to over 2000m today I wasn't very popular with the guys when I then chose what turned out to be a mountainous long cut on dirt roads. Struggling along on road tyres it wasn't long before Sam had yet another puncture and we ran out of water. Fortunately just as Danny was eyeing up some putrid bog water some local farmers came to our rescue.

Showing our age after a tiring day in the sun it's not even 9pm and we're tucked up in bed with hot water bottles listening to classical music in the lovely karma backpackers! The great news is that thanks to all the recent generous donations and some excellent fund raising for re-cycle by Danny and Sam we are well on the way to the charity target. Although given I'm looking to raise £1 per km of the triathlon I'm going to have to set once last challenge and adjust the target to reflect the 20,000km travelled so please keep the donations coming in!!
