    10 May... 215km. According to AA maps, if I travel the main highway, I have reached Waiomio, Kawakawa, Northland.

    Wow... where are the other travellers (walkers) in NZ according to their distance walked.

    Over 1000kms now so one third completed. I have a graph at work for those of my workmates doing this showing how much everyone does each month. Its a great motivator for all of us.

    My total km's is 1444 so I am nearly halfway on this challenge and almost in Wellington. All my workmates that are doing the challenge, I log their monthly distance on a spreadsheet and make a visual chart for all to see. Its been four months since we started so the figures are looking good now.

    Nearly two thirds of the way now down the country at 1936kms. The map on the website isn't detailed enough to say exactly where - only shows main cities.

    Also found a website where you can walk across America so I have got together 5 teams at work to compete to do this. Should be fun, as we can see each others progress going from Virginia to Oregon which is nearly 4000kms. In teams it should be faster to cross and its a great way to motivate others to get out and walk!

    Thank you for posting. This should keep me motivated for a wee whilte. Earlier this year I did a "I've Climbed my Own Everest" challenge. Similar to this where you "climb/step" the height of Mt Everest. You can access the challenge resources by going on to the Sport Otago Site.

    Have signed up - now to find a pedometer that works - or buy a new one....
    Good for you - if you have the money get a Fitbit on Amazon (not available in NZ) cost about $130 delivered. They are a great motivator to get you moving and seem very accurate for counting steps.

    Can get a fitbit from Noel Leeming (or free through flybuys) for around $100
