Personal Reactions

smile

Wildlife

Lovely - An overly inquisitive Rakali, an echidna on the trail, misc birds, cheeky mice and Patrick the quenda
Less lovely - all the spiders casting their web across the track near Albany

Your Best Equipment

AEGISMAX Outdoor Ultra-Light Goose Down Sleeping Bag.
Very warm and packs down to nothing!

Your Worst Equipment

Blue fleece jacket. Poor insulation for weight and bulk.

Advice for Others

As a beginner, I liked having a long, slow, flexible and conservative itinerary. If you want to pick up the pace later, you can!
