General Comments
Embrace the Sux; once you overcome this, you will enjoy the walk, no matter what happens.
Food/Supplies Comments
Yes, we could resupply in towns. Just plan to be in towns on weekdays as info centres and some shops are closed or close early on the weekends.
Favourite Section
The end, when walking, was walking, and the habits and patterns come from countless days of routine.
Highlights
Spending 35 nights alone and one stretch of 4 days (3 nights) of not seeing anybody, not even a car in the distance.
Personal Reactions
I so long to still be out there walking.
Your Best Equipment
What I had was all good.
Your Worst Equipment
Any were weeded out before I started.
Advice for Others
Ignore the stories/rumours, such as huts overrun with mice and waste-deep water; just embrace the hike. Remember that fishing stories about the one that got away, well these are the same, as the story changes with each person who tells it.
