Third note from the editor:

The Donkey has asked me to thank all his family, friends and followers for their comments and encouragement which he has received along the way. Initially he was a bit anxious about it as he wondered if it could be considered assistance as it perked the Donkey up no end when at a low-ebb, which has been often, especially in the North Island, and it has motivated him to push on. But then he thought about it and concluded that his family, friends and followers don’t actually physically push him, or give him an electric bike, or carry his gear, or tell him were to go, when, once again he is lost, or anything like that, so he has come to embrace it and he wants his family, friends and followers to know that via me, the editor, hence this note from the editor on behalf of a grateful the Donkey.
