Mega-marathon effort by Winton firefighters

Two firefighters, five days, 280,000 steps.

Winton volunteer firemen Guy Johnstone (43) and Steve Turton (48) finally walked in to the Queenstown Fire Station about 2pm yesterday, capping off a mammoth week which saw them walk 214km from Bluff to the resort town, raising money for Gumboot Friday.

They finished with a 30km grunt yesterday, from Drift Bay to central Queenstown, starting about 6.30am.
