For safety reasons, the 54-year-old had to paddle with Brett Garrett, a four-time Coast to Coast competitor and the person who taught her how to kayak last year. They wouldn’t really allow me to do it by myself because I m attached to the paddle at all times,” Dagg explains. Garrett works for a plumbing company and together they had a good think about overcoming the issue of how Dagg – an above-the-elbow amputee – would hold the paddle with her prosthetic arm. “He came back with a bit of PVC syphon, some rubber O-rings and a clamp, says Dagg, whose team logo is Limb-it-less Shaz Dagg . And then the Limb Centre made the sockets and everything. A little bit of Kiwi ingenuity.”

STACY SQUIRES
Bex McLean and Darryl Norriss are running the mountain leg of Coast to Coast in memory of their father, Brent Norriss, who was killed by a distracted driver while riding his bike in February 2020.
Canterbury grandad Brent Norriss was cycling home from his work in Wellington when he was hit and killed by a driver who was distracted by his cellphone. The 65-year-old – who was affectionately described as a “fit old bugger” – completed the Coast to Coast five times and was looking forward to entering again in 2021. But following his death on February 3, 2020, his children – Bex McLean and Darryl Norriss – vowed to run the gruelling Coast to Coast Mountain Run in is memory.

What I learnt walking Te Araroa for 50 days
Having recently walked much of the South Island stretch of Te Araroa, Kirsten O’Regan reflects on the magnificent landscapes and interesting characters she encountered along the way.
On our 36th day of walking, we climb through the fire-blackened hills above Ohau, stopping to examine heat-disfigured trail markers. Fresh green shoots have pushed through the sooty earth. Some matagouri bushes escaped significant damage; tiny pale-green flowers soften their spikes and perfume the breeze.
