General Comments
We started off as 3 ladies (3 cockies wives) and ended up with the Track name of “Laughing Ladies” which was given to us by another walker, having heard laughing and was not sure what was going on. Now we are 9 and although we don’t all walk at the same time, we are all together in thought.
Food/Supplies Comments
Dehydrators are the way to go! Always take too much so still trying to cut down.
Favourite Section
Hard one. Giants to Rame Head, Torbay to Hidden Valley, Walpole to Denmark in wildflower season tops.
Highlights
All of it.
Personal Reactions
The laughs, friends made, discussions on Track, gadget comparison. Wish I could have more self discipline to train before each section!!
Wildlife
Friendly quendas and wallabies but this is sad as it means people are feeding them.
Your Best Equipment
My Rockport boots - just wish I could buy more as these have blown out beyond repair!
Your Worst Equipment
My boots now! Beyond repair.
Advice for Others
Train before attempting. It makes it so much more enjoyable. Take time to stop and enjoy the view and contemplate. Will continue to hike the Track and get as many laughing ladies to fill out these forms as possible! Thank you to all, I know it is often stated but I wonder if the office staff, volunteers, etc. do know the depth of our appreciate!
