Grand Traverse Record Race

Set the time zone to Johannesburg by editing your profile:

It should be using SA time as a default but for some reason it isn't for some members. Hoping this will be fixed in upcoming software updates.

Shot Intrepid.

Well done to Andrew. I feel exhausted just thinking how hard this must have been.

The weather window was timed well, I did read that he finished in mist, but a day later and this would have been really tough. Tuesday morning and the weather has gone bad here in the Central Berg (and from what I understand, to get worse as the day progresses, especially to the North).

Well timed indeed.

Congratulations on an awesome effort Andrew.

Ghaz, do you mean a Calendar year or any 365 day period?

Well done, Andrew. Excellent effort to do solo!!

Calendar year - I know a few people have finished a GT within 365 days of each other.

My wording is "finish" specifically as Andrew did over half of the slow GT in 2014.

Just got a call from Andrew - final time was 45h08

He is chilling with a book at Witsieshoek right now.

Wow, what an achievement! Truly inspirational stuff guys! There cannot be a lot of people who knows the DGT that well, and be that fast! Huge congrats to Andrew.

insane effort this!!!

It's got to be so much harder on your own. Well done Andrew!

I'm very keen to read your race report...

So well done Andrew! Glad you finally had that "perfect" run, as elusive as it may seem
