Episode 23: Alex Baddeley in Tarungi, New Zealand
Listen now
Description
Ron & Adam catch up with Alex Baddeley, a friend of Ron's, who joined the duo on Day 183 in Invercargill. Alex has had the opportunity to cycle across his country and has acknowledged that it really is one of the most incredible ways to see New Zealand. He was able to adapt to the cycling routine quickly and has proven to be a great support with all the pronunciation of places in New Zealand.  Ron & Adam talk through their route from Invercargill, one of the most southern parts of the world that the trio have been to and started making their way towards Auckland, where they will hand over the official Rugby World Cup whistle to referee, Maggie Cogger-Orr. The weather has been temperamental but towns that they have camped in and visited have been beautiful.  On their way to Auckland, they were able to visit Wellington Girls College - which is where the first ever female game of rugby was played - which was a special stop on our way to the Women's Rugby World Cup a week later. They also were able to visit the New Zealand Rugby Museum, which brought back a few great memories for Ron. There is a lot of other interesting history, especially seeing the old official whistle which Ron & Adam were able to compare theirs to!  This whole journey is to raise awareness and funds for ChildFund Rugby, an amazing charity that promotes community growth and development through sport.
