GALLIPOLI - April 23rd

The place is a buzz with anticipation as we approach the dawn service at Anzac Cove tomorrow night. There is plenty of action as preparations for the services at Anzac Cove, Lone Pine and Chunik Bair are in full swing. The last day or so has allowed groups to venture out around the peninsula and take in the rich history and to truly understand why we are here and why we are running. Freddy Kerr joined us last night as the Hotchkiss arrived in one piece, having being shipped over from Melbourne via Egypt to Instanbul. The museum crew have put in a herculean effort in organising the safe arrival of the Hotchkiss while confronting minor hurdles along the way. How did we know they didn't sell petrol in Turkey!
Some groups were taking the opportunity to go for a group run, with many running down to Anzac Cove and taking in the sites.
