General Comments
As the hike was undertaken over many years with 16 different groups it was a unique and absolutely wonderful journey.
Food/Supplies Comments
If I live to a hundred it can be put down to the hundreds of dehydrated meals combined with chocolate.
Favourite Section
Coastal sections.
Highlights
Too many to list but mostly all related to the honour of meeting over a hundred and twenty different people and sharing the experience over 7 years and 16 hikes. Also sharing the experience with my son who started at 10 years old.
Wildlife
What can be wilder than a hundred 16 or 17 year old students, hyped up on lollies.
Your Best Equipment
LED torches.
Your Worst Equipment
The weight of all the safety equipment, necessary but hardly used. Epirb, sat phone, first aid box, medical certificates, etc.
Advice for Others
Thanks to all those hiker who shared advice, shelters, camp-fires along the way. Pass it on.
