I mean, we do run on LPG (Leg powered somethingorother) instead of petrol, which makes a difference. : Anyway, about one tramp and a thousand miles ago -— on Easter weekend to be exact - Michael, Mike and Me (the three ems) twiddled our feet in little circles something in the region of 97,999 times (give or take a few thousand). During this time we travelled 350.2 miles around the Taupo, Whakatane, Tauranga, ! Rotorua areas. The weather was super superb, with all the wind we struck being in the right direction (i.e. behind us). Consequently, we hardly suffered at all : 4
