General Comments
After my first backpacking experience, I begged my friends not to let me go backpacking ever again. But I found I missed out on a lot of fun. So I became sensible and cut down on the weight I was carrying.
Food/Supplies Comments
Being only a sectional walker, it was not a problem carrying what was needed.
Favourite Section
Each section has its own highlight
Highlights
The wildflowers along the way, walkers sharing the jouney with me and others we met along the way.
Personal Reactions
On becoming a volunteer in the Bib Office, I found I needed to experience the whole Track, so I could give better advise to those who called the office - so it is “their” fault I’ve walked the Track. Did not get the same BUZZ I imagine End to Enders get, when completing the walk in one go.
Wildlife
The usual wildlife - sometimes lots - other times less so.
Your Best Equipment
My new backpack.
Your Worst Equipment
My old backpack.
Advice for Others
Listen to the advice of other walkers. Don’t cary unnecessary things or you will suffer.
