A journey from one side of a country to another you would think would be quite tough, mentally and physically. Running, kayaking and cycling the 243km from one side of New Zealand's South Island would be a great effort for anybody.
A New Zealand woman, Neelu Memon, has decided to do just that, even if she is near blind, and has no balance because of a condition she contracted when she was younger.
Having already scaled Mt. Aspiring, she will start on the west coast and run the first 36km, including a 33km traverse of the Southern Alps. The cycling leg will entail pedalling 140km over three stages, and finally she will paddle 67km down the Waimakariri River to the east coast. (Each with a guide of course)
Good luck to her, though we're sure she won't need it!
