TA north island : in numbers

Because I lost the first version of this here is it again out from my memory.

I will put a list of things that I remember and make more or less sens to me:

  • 1695 official kilometers walked, probably more (10% at least)
  • 0 kilometers skipped (wasn’t always easy
  • 3 km was my shortest day
  • 53 km my longest
  • 73 days needed to complete the north island
  • 9 of them were 0 days, so I didn’t walk on the trail on these days
  • 20 nights were slept in a bed or a hut and
  • 52 in my tent
  • 3 trail angel homes I stayed at and each one of them were fantastic
  • 3.5 kg of peanut butter was eaten
  • 1kg of Chocolate spread was enjoyed
  • 2kg of gingernut was assimilated
  • 60 wraps consumed
  • 3kg of trail mix destroyed
  • 2.5 kg of chocolate digested
  • 30 flat white (kiwi coffee specialty) were drunk
  • Also I ate around 20 burgers on that Island
  • 20 different beers tested
  • 150 km kayaked on the Whanganui river
  • I slipped a lot of time but hit the ground only three times
  • 1 broken hiking stick
  • 2 pairs of socks didn’t survived
  • Too many km on roads
  • 6 days with rain (only!)
  • Lot of new amazing people I encountered
  • A dozen of subburns, could have been worse

I might complete that list later if I find other numbers

    Idées pour d’autres chiffres😊
    – heures de marches ?
    – combien de suisses rencontrés ?
    – poids du sac en moyenne ?
    – combien de livres lus sur ton Kindle ?
    – combien d’ampoules aux pieds, et crampes ?
    – combien de bouteilles de gaz pour cuisiner ?
    – de fourchettes cassées ?
    – combien de tubes de protection solaire ?….

      Pour tes questions :
      – 8 à 10 heures en moyenne par jour
      – une dizaine sur le trail
      – 15 kg avec la nourriture et l’eau
      – pas tant que ça je dirais 5 livres
      – pas d’ampoules mais de tant à autre quelques crampes mais rien d’anormal
      – 5 cartouches de gaz actuellement
      – j’ai une fourchette en titane bien solide. J’ai abandonné le plastique rapidement
      – un seul tube pour le moment !
