Three months have passed since I wrote the Introduction for this mission back on 1 OCT 2011.
Some of the numbers quoted have changed since I first set the loop tracks on 14 OCT 2011 but I wont bore you with the details, as its a work in progress and will not be perfect until the end, and even then, probably not! But I hope eventually it will become a resource that can be used by at least one other Waitakere runner out there!
Of note however:
* Some tracks are closed due to Kauri Dieback, and this is usually found out on the day!
* New tracks appear such as Beveridge, Knutzen and Ussher Tracks.
No 'status update' is complete without a list of statistics to recognise how much progress has been made, so here goes:
Number of loops completed: 13 loops / 41 loops
Percentage of map distance completed: 31 %
Map distance of loops completed: 122 km / 394 km
Actual distance run (by GPS): 122 km
Longest Run - 2 Te Henga Walkway: 19 km
Shortest Run - 12 Walker Kauri and Sharp Bush Track: 2.5 km
Average Run: 9.2 km
Top Track: Odlin Timber Track
Top 10 Tracks: see here
Total Travel: 611 km
Quantity of data generated: 859 mb
Number of photos captured: 742 photos
And finally, an image summing up the coverage of the quest:

Those squiggles of blue are starting to take shape. You'll need a new colour when we start at it again.
