I am also upset that it looks like my package did not reach you in Manning Park due to the fact that you arrived there a few days earlier than I expected (a fact that I would have noticed earlier had I had the chance to check your progress!). However, those feelings are nothing compared to the happiness and pride I feel for you completing something that you have worked so hard for over the last few months. It has been tough and you have had your down moments but you kept it together and kept on going and now you have done it!! I am so proud of you my friend and although I won't be at home to congratulate you in person I am sending loads of virtual hugs your way! xxx ARGH Craig I am raging that my new job managed to take up all my time last week and I therefore missed the momentous occasion of you stepping over the border and completing the PCT!!!

Anyway, echoing the sentiments of all other comment leavers, I'm so proud of you! I swear I've mentioned you to almost every single person I've met travelling "My mate is walking from Mexico to Canada!" What an amazing achievement! And one I dont think I can fully appreciate, but it doesn't stop me from being so proud of you! :) And I'm SOOOO glad that I'm back in NZ now so I can give you the hugest hugs when you return victorious! Lots of love niv Craig, unfortunately my flitting to and from countries meant I missed out on your continuous PCT progress - as if to prove a point, I was on a plane from London to NZ on your last day on the trail!
