Dougie Haynes: <\/p>\n

Walking the length of New Zealand is hard enough, but Mangawhai\u2019s Haynes is going one step further by carrying two sets of golf clubs to raise money for KidsCan.<\/p>\n

Haynes, originally from Oxford in England, is a fulltime caddie, plying his trade at Tara Iti and Te Arai Links golf clubs in Mangawhai. <\/p>\n

He moved to New Zealand in 2019 and said the inspiration to attempt the 3000 km Te Araroa trail was from seeing other hikers pass through his town. <\/p>\n

In late October, he set off with two sets of golf clubs, one on each shoulder. <\/p>\n

Today, we find him at the halfway point of Wellington.<\/p>\n

Hamish McKay: <\/p>\n

McKay On Sport called it early when it came to Razor\u2019s axing.<\/p>\n
