General Comments

It never was an original goal to complete and End to End, but as sections accumulated I got serious about doing an End to End and ticking off all the sections.  So glad I did now.

Food/Supplies Comments

I’m over noodles and dehydrated vegetables.

Favourite Section

Northcliffe to Walpole.

Highlights

Coastal areas, magnificent trees and colourful flowers, etc.  Arriving at the campsite was a welcome daily highlight.

Personal Reactions

As a 20 year Cardiac patient I am very grateful to all who helped me (wife & family).

Wildlife

Usual suspects, although snakes in knee high water was different.

Your Best Equipment

Boots.

Your Worst Equipment

My own body (toes gave me hell).

Advice for Others

Get out of your comfort zone and prove to yourself you can do special things with your life, the payback is enormous.
