The Catlins

When you're cutting that polythene, let it go up the pile, you know, six inches or so, and then take that off so there's no moisture can penetrate around the sides of it whatsoever.

And make sure that when the polythene, like the old honey two-footed crib down the Catlins, when I dug out underneath because I had to dig underneath to repile it, and then I put the polythene down and then, What I did was one morning I went in there to carry on doing the underfloor insulation and it rained and it went underneath and I laid under it.

So you don't want the polythene to be coming on your outside and go in underneath.

But either way, yeah, that's a good way of stopping that moisture coming up.

So my bed for the night is an Airbnb in Kaka Point, about 20 minutes away on the coast.

Kaka Point, they call it the gateway to the Catlins.

Just along from the Airbnb, there's a cafe.

And it's where I run into Ruth Baldwin, who is Mana Whenua.

You cannot not fund communities because we are protecting the little places.

But when you protect lots of little places, you create the flyways that allow our forest birds to move between Fiordland, Catlins, Rakiura, and spread their genes so that we don't get little pockets of genetic sort of isolation.

And those flyways will only ever be created by community groups.

I mean, if you look at the big projects like Predator 3 Wellington or Predator 3 Dunedin,

Now, Luke, how about you? How long were your longest races before juniors?

Yeah, so it was 12 hours, but then I also did the Magnificent Chapter 2 at the start of this year down in the Catlins.

I was actually in Louis Berger's team where we got third with two other, another girl, Charlie, who she's a crazy ultra runner, but never actually done an adventure race.

And then Jack Wilson, who has been in Andy Magnus' and Louis' team a couple of times.
