John Hinrichs, update from North America:John has started his walk along the Pacific Crest Trail near Ashland Oregon.
His pack weighs about 16 kg, which is slowing him down but John hopes his fitness will improve over the next few weeks and he will be able to churn out 30 km per day soon - he has only 950 miles to reach Canada!
A friend of one of John's daughters, Ros Campbell, is handling logistics support for him. Ros was a Rotary Exchange Student to Finland some years ago and is a former Rotaractor.
