Walking by one self in crowded solitude gives tremendous satisfaction with its freedom to do what you like when you like.
Wildlife
Amazed at damage caused by wild pigs.

Too many spare clothes.
Advice for Others
A thick sleeping mat & pillow are essential. You cannot carry too much food as the hilly sections burn more calories that you can consume. I lost 8 kg in 41 days walking.
