Craw – region 4 completed!

Team This is the way is off the frozen wastes of Antarctica and now trekking across Australia! This was the longest region of the circumpolar navigation (and ticking off one of the poles), but we finally completed the 3,296 miles of region 4 yesterday (a little bit over in fact as a few team members had some unlogged days that pushed us over the target).

We had started region 4 on 8th January, and finishing on 28th February means it took us a total of 52 days, averaging 63.38 miles per day as a team.

I managed to log the most miles for the team in this region with 544.79, putting me in 51st place for the region at time of finishing, and the team in 8th place due to the overrun (but this all changes as other teams and individuals finish).

We have now completed 4 regions (12,075 miles) in a total of 183 days, averaging just under 66 miles per day. The total 30,208 miles of the trip would take us 458 days at that rate, well within the 16 month cut-off for a silver buckle (though we did slow down and lose 7 days over this region – aptly due to snow).
