Weather fore-guess has changed again!
I have just spoken to the Okains Bay store, their confirmed hours are 8.30-7pm on Saturday with Fish and Chips available from 1-7pm, and 8.30am-4.30pm ish on Sunday with NO fish and chips available on Sunday.
There is a natural spring on the Summit Road, 8km on from Dyers Pass Road crossing. Very early on in the event but means you don't need to carry litres of water up Rapaki Track and along most of the Summit Rd.
Start "banking" some sleep those of you planning on pushing the whole way through....
Cheers, Scott
